A Refocusing of the St. Vincent & the Grenadines Labour Market Information System (SVG-LMIS)

The Department of Labour will host a meeting of all key stakeholders of the St.Vincent and the Grenadines Labour Market Information System (SVG-LMIS) on Friday 13th December at the NIS Training Room at 8.30 am. This event is intended to provide greater impetus for the continued development of the SVG-LMIS since its official launch in 2011.

The presentation and signing of a memorandum of understanding would be one of the main features of this meeting. This consensus document will be signed by the three main stakeholders in the LMIS – the Department of Labour, the Central Statistical Office and the National Insurance Services (NIS) who have all recognised the need for collaboration and information sharing if a successful SVG-LMIS is to be realised.

The main objectives of this collaborative effort among the tripartite stakeholders are to:

• Produce more, better and timely labour market information for the benefit of all Vincentians including government, trade  unions, business enterprises, and civic society organisations; and

• Forge and formalise a national consensus on a national plan of action aimed at making more efficient use of human, financial and other resources, avoiding duplication of data sources while at the same time making data sources more complementary and, sharing ICT information.

ILO Specialist in Employment and Labour Market Policies, Dr. Reynold Simons will also present a report on a limited labour market analysis for St. Vincent and the Grenadines from data collected from stakeholders.
