Technical support on employment in Argentina

The purpose of this project is to improve the capacity of the Ministry of Labour and of the social partners to develop active employment policies and to implement local economic development strategies in Argentina with impact on decent work. In recent years, the loss of dynamism in the economy has had negative effects on the labour market. Active labour market policies and industrial policies are therefore necessary for productive development with more and better jobs. The ILO strategy focuses on promoting more inclusive and effective labour market institutions and on the articulation of labour strategies with productive development policies. Interventions focus on: 1) the development of prospective studies to anticipate the demand of employment and skills in strategic sectors and supply chains, jointly with the social partners; 2) technical assistance to the Ministry of Labour to strengthen its capacity to analyse employment and vocational training requirements; and 3) the development and dissemination of studies on productive development policies, successful technologies and the articulation of employment with the productive sectors in Argentina.
