Create labour market information system

PAPUA New Guinea succumbs to a high rate of unemployment every year and the disparity in the demand for job markets is broadening in a shocking rate for skilled and clerical jobs.
Industrialisation and growth in the resource sector has created a demand for more skilled jobs.
Clerical jobs for social science and humanities students are narrowed given the diverse challenges in the workforce such as aging workforce, lack of job specific training that link students unswervingly to workforce, and a need to review our national qualification framework.
In order to address the unemployment issue, a labour market information system is critical and the way forward.
The identification of labour market issues critically rests on the availability of data, information and analysis.
Labour market information systems provide an essential basis for employment and labour policies, and inform the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies that are better focused and targeted.
PNG is a member of a global economy and the investment in the oil and gas sector is intensifying that poses a real contest on the present skill gap.
