CASTRIES, St. Lucia, Thursday July 17, 2014, CMC – The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) sub-region has adopted a plan of action for the successful piloting of a region-wide Labour Needs Assessment Survey in 2014.
The plan was devised at a recent meeting of Directors of Statistics from the sub-region in St.Vincent and the Grenadines.
The two-day seminar also facilitated the piloting of the OECS wide Labour Needs Assessment Survey.
The survey will also evaluate difficulties encountered by employers in filling job vacancies.

Sean Mathurin, coordinator for the OECS Labour Market Information Systems programme expects the survey results to provide detailed information on job creation based on the rationale, industry and occupation as well as difficulties employers have with finding suitable labour.
“The OECS Commission also values such information as critical for policy makers in macro-economic planning and investment as well as for human resource strategies.
“Social planners also need this information for finalising technical/vocational training and the provision of services to employers and job seekers,” Mathurin noted.
The OECS-wide Labour Needs Assessment Survey, a component of the OECS Labour Market Information Systems Programme will also produce information on demand flows of labour and unfilled vacancies.
