Assessment of Labour Market and Migration Information System in Ethiopia and Djibouti - ILO
May 12, 2022
Background:
The International Labour Organisation (ILO)––via its United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded project “Better Regional Migration Management”––aims to support the Ethiopian and Djiboutian governments in establishing a labour market and migration information system (LMMIS) and ensuring that labor and labor migration data is mainstreamed into its labour market information system. In order to provide the necessary support, a comprehensive assessment on the state of LMMIS in Ethiopia and Djibouti are necessary.
Triangle’s Assessment:
- Provided an overview of existing and available labor market and migration related data collection and analysis frameworks, systems and structures.
- Improved the overall understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of existing labor market and migration related data collection and processing systems and mechanisms.
- Mapped existing official and non-official sources on labor market and migration related data.
- Identified key actors engaged in labor market and migration data collection in Djibouti.
- Identified challenges related to harmonisation of information related to the national labor market and migration.
- Identified challenges related to coordinating different information sources related to labor market and migration.
- Identified information and specific data needs to develop labor migration policies that are evidence-based and gender sensitive and that reflect real labor market needs.
- Identified concrete and feasible mechanisms to facilitate the sharing of labor market and migration related information among concerned institutions.
- Identified mechanisms to improve the collection and analysis of labor market and migration data and how best to integrate them with existing national labor market information systems.
