Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Committee notes the statistical information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments. The Government indicates that there are 100 offices dealing with employment and self-employment, comprising ten offices for managerial posts, 79 offices providing multiple services and 11 “enterprising” centres. The trends in job vacancies, applications and placements via the Tunisian Employment Agency (ANETI) appear to give cause for concern: in 2011, some 140,000 job vacancies were notified, 280,000 applications were received but only 46,471 placements were carried out. In view of the worrying situation of the employment market, which is also referred to in its comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), the Committee invites the Government to arrange for the cooperation of the social partners in the organization and operation of the employment service (Articles 4 and 5 of Convention No. 88). The Committee would also welcome receiving up to-date information on the manner in which the public employment service contributes to the best possible organization of the employment market as an integral part of the national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment and the development and use of productive resources (Article 1(2) of the Convention). The Government is also requested to include statistical information in its next report on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by ANETI. The Committee hopes that this information will make it possible to assess the effectiveness of ANETI (Part IV of the report form).
