2000 - 2010
GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN

Ministry of Labour and Manpower


(HRD Wing)

Preface
The ultimate objective of the Governments economic policies is to create jobs, raise incomes of the people and reduce
poverty. The availability of timely, reliable and relevant statistics pertaining to human resource and labour market
developments are necessary pre requisite for planning and monitoring progress of Governments economic policies.
Ministry of Labour and Manpower is responsible to provide national statistics related to labour and human resources.
The Labour and Human Resource Statistics, is a comprehensive publication covering all aspects and characteristics of
the population and labour ranging from demographic characteristics to labour market structure, activities, technical
and vocational training and welfare of the labour force. The information in this publication consists of main areas like
economic indicators, manpower statistics, technical education and vocational training, emigration statistics, industrial
relation, employment exchange statistics, workers welfare and their protection.
The third issue of Labour and Human Resource Statistics reviews the progress of labour market over the last year and
in a historical perspective. All of these statistics are used widely by the Government at the Federal and Provincial
levels, Local and International Organizations, the Private Sectors, Educational Institutions, Researchers, Media,
Students and many others within and outside the country.
The Labour and Human Resource Statistics, 2009 could not be completed without the cooperation of numerous
Government Departments, Agencies and other Organizations. I thankfully acknowledge the timely and unstinting
support extended by each in providing accurate and updated data for inclusion. I wish to commend the officers and
staff of Planning and Technical Unit for preparing this important document. To ensure that the statistics produced
continues to be relevant and timely to the users, we need your feedback and suggestions.
I would also like to thank the ILO Office Islamabad for providing financial support to print this report.

Objectives
The specific objectives of Labour Inspection Policy 2006 are as follows: -

The Policy outlines a range of new and innovative approaches to labour inspection work that are flexible,
transparent, fair and impartial, and make the best use of limited inspection resources.

The Policy supports the extension of inspection activities beyond formal sector enterprises to ensure that labour
protection services are made available to all workplaces in all sectors, including Pakistans large and labour
intensive informal economy.

The Policy encourages the involvement of the private sector in the provision of Labour Inspection services through
licensing and accreditation arrangements.

The Policy encourages compliance with labour policies and laws through means other than rigid law enforcement.

The Policy encourages increased harmony and cooperation between workers and managers in enterprises, thereby
contributing to dispute prevention and the avoidance of conflict.

100

Labour Protection Policy 2006


The Labour Protection Policy 2006 contributes to the achievement of the following objectives.
The Policy will contribute to increased protection for workers and improve their working conditions, leading to increased
motivation.
The Policy, progressively, will extend protection and improvements not only to workers operating under formal contracts of
employment, but also some aspects of protection to self-employed persons, agricultural workers, informal economy
workers, contract workers, seasonal workers, and home workers.
The Policy will contribute to labour productivity enhancement within enterprises through improved working conditions and a
safer and healthier working environment.
The Policy will assist enterprises to become more efficient and competitive. Even if wages increase, unit labour costs will fall
if measures are taken to increase labour productivity.
The Policy will also have an important demonstration effect by alerting employers, workers, potential investors, and the
international community that the Government of Pakistan together with its social partners is committed to improving
labour protection as a key strategy in national development.

Child / Bonded Labour


Child Labour
The Government is committed to eliminate child labour from the country. The Employment of Children Act, 1991 exclusively
deals with the prohibition of employment of children in certain occupations/processes. Whereas, The Mines Act, 1923, Factories Act
1934, The Road Transport Workers Ordinance, 1961, The Children (Pledging of Labour) Act, 1933 also relate to the prohibition of
employment of children in certain occupations/processes or regulation of their working conditions.
In 2009, Child Labour Project Combating Abusive Child Labour II assisted by European Commission in collaboration with
ILO was launched. The project activities have been started in District Sukkur and Sahiwal. The objective of this project is to eliminate
worst form of child labour by adopting district based approach within a limited time frame and to strengthening the government and
civil society institutions to take effective actions against child labour, particularly its worst forms. This project is for five years.
Conducting of Second National Survey on Child Labour and sensitization on child labour Issues are also included in the mandate of
this Project. Partners of this Project are Ministry of Labour, four Provincial Labour Departments, Federal Bureau of Statistics, District
Governments, Employers Federation of Pakistan, Pakistan Workers Federation, etc. A large majority of the out-of-school children is
expected to receive benefits from this project. An estimated 10, 000 children are expected to be withdrawn from hazardous
workplaces.
Main achievements of this project are the following.

106

960 children aged 5-14 years have been enrolled in 37 Non-Formal Education (NFE) Centres and 230 young siblings of child
labourers have been enrolled in NFE centres in Sukkur.

2,125 children aged 15-17 years involved in hazardous occupations have been identified for Literacy Programme.

District Health Department engaged for health screening of the children in NFE & Literacy centres and 384 WFCL children
were subjected to health screening in Sukkur.

In District Sahiwal, 20 Non Formal Eductaion (NFE) Centers have been established.

Bonded Labour
Pakistan has ratified the ILO Conventions 29 and 105 on Forced Labour, requiring to suppress the use of forced or compulsory
labour in all its forms. To give effect to the obligations under the Constitution and the ILO Convention, Pakistan has enacted the law
namely Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1992 and framed the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Rules, 1995 under the Act.
The law abolishes the debt-bondage and forced labour in all forms regardless of age, sex, race, colour and religion. It sets all bonded
labourers free - all bonded debts have also been extinguished.
Free Legal Aid Service Units (LASU) have been established one each in Lahore and Peshawar by the respective provincial
governments. Ministry of Labour and Manpower has provided funds for these Units from the Bonded Labour Fund. Rs.3.355 million
has been provided for LASU Lahore and Rs.3.373 million for LASU Peshawar.

So far as, the number of bonded labourers released

by High Courts on the efforts of Legal Aids Services Units (LASUs) with the assistance of NGOs in Punjab, KPK and Sindh are 52, 96
and 13 respectively.

107

Through these units, free legal aid services are being provided to the bonded labourers in the provinces of Punjab and NWFP.
The Toll-Free Help Lines have been installed in each province to facilitate the aggrieved labourers in communicating their grievances.
The complainants register their complaint in Legal Aid Services Units via the help line, which is scrutinized by the Law Officer. After
initial scrutiny, further action is taken on the complaints. If legal assistance is needed, the services of a lawyer are provided to the
complainant free of cost.
Similar Units are being established in Karachi and Quetta for providing free legal services to the bonded labourers in the
province of Sindh and Balochistan. An amount of Rs.4.381 million for LASU Karachi and Rs.3.373 million for LASU Quetta has been
approved.
Following meetings on Bonded Labour were conducted during the year 2009-10.
1. 4th Meeting of National Committee of Bonded Labour and Rehabilitation of Freed Bonded Labourers, 27th April, 2010,
Islamabad
2. The National Consultation to Review Law on Bonded Labour, 21-22 December, 2009, Karachi
3. National Stakeholders Consultation on Bonded Labourer, 15 December, 2009, Lahore.

ILO Interventions in Pakistan (2009-10)


Overview
The International Labour Organization (ILO) was created in 1919 as a means to promote social progress and overcome social and
economic conflicts of interest through dialogue and cooperation.
The ILO is a specialized technical agency of the United Nations system and the principal centre and authority in the international
system on labour and social policy. It is devoted to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive
work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Its unique tripartite structure brings together workers, employers
and governments and gives them an opportunity to search for common rules, policies and behaviours from which all can benefit.
Pakistan has been an important and active member State of the ILO since its inception in 1947, and has ratified 36 Conventions
(however, two of these conventions stand denounced as per information extracted from NATLEX on 22 Sept 2010), including the
eight core Conventions. Representatives of the Government, employers, and workers organizations have served repeatedly on the
ILOs Governing Body over the years.
ILO Programs in Pakistan
The ILOs Strategic Policy Framework (2010 2015) and the Biennial Programme & Budget (2010-2011), adopted by the ILOs
Governing Body, provide the basis for the ILOs programmatic and technical support over the next six years. More specifically the
ILOs current areas of work in Pakistan focus on:

The application of the 34 ratified ILO Conventions (International Labour Standards);

Enhancing the capacities of government, employers and workers organizations to provide institutional services and products that
facilitate decent work, and especially in pursuit of equality of opportunity and non-discrimination;

110

Enabling the labour market environment for more and better quality jobs in line with the National Employment Policy and
especially systems for the enhancement of competency-based skills for greater employability. Enhancing opportunities for green
jobs is also a priority;

Supporting the operationalisation of the National Policy & Plan of Action to Eliminate Child Labour and the National Policy & Plan
of Action to Abolish Bonded Labour;

Supporting the implementation of the National Labour Policy and other policies that promote and facilitate decent work, including
the Labour Protection and Inspection policies, the National Skills Strategy, the National Youth and Education policies and Gender
Reform Action Plan;

Enhancing the protection and working conditions of the more vulnerable and marginalized, and especially in the informal economy
which employs the majority of non-agriculture workers in Pakistan; and

Enhancing opportunities for decent work, with the requisite protections, in other countries.

Major Achievements under projects and Events organized by ILO in Pakistan (2009-10)
1. Combating Abusive Child Labour II
This project contributes to the Government of Pakistans efforts to eliminate child labour, including its worst forms (WFCL).
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the Government of Pakistans efforts to eliminate child labour, including its worst
forms (WFCL). The programme will adopt a three-pronged strategy. The first component is at the local level where working children
and especially those engaged in the worst forms of labour, will be identified and provided with alternative opportunities for education
and vocational training while their families will be linked up to social safety nets, credit providers and health services. The second
component aims at building governments capacity at district, provincial and federal levels and at keeping child labour as a priority on
the agenda and eventually disseminating the lessons learned from the project to other districts through increased planning and
leadership capacities of the Government at all levels. The third component will facilitate the building of a dynamic knowledge base to
inform policy and to create increased awareness in order to ensure a favorable climate to support efforts directed at addressing child
labour.
Strategically, the project is designed to work at the district, provincial and national level to strengthen institutional capacity; to enhance
the knowledge base; and at the grass roots level in the target districts to develop a model on how child labour across economic
sectors can be effectively addressed at the district level. The three components mutually strengthen and support each other, while the
institutional strengthening strategies will reinforce and sustain the direct interventions. The enhanced knowledge base and awareness
will help in mainstreaming child labour concerns in the relevant national policies and programmes and in addressing them over the
long term.
It is expected that the strengthened institutional mechanism will take the lead role and overall responsibility on the timely
implementation of National Policy and Plan of Action to Combat Child Labour that will help Pakistan in achieving the ILOs global goal
on eliminating all worst forms of child labour by 2016.
2. Pakistan Earthquake Child Labour Response Project (PECLR)
A four-year initiative developed as a response to technically assist the efforts of the Government of Pakistan to address the issue of
child labour in affected areas resulting from the devastating earthquake of 8 October 2005 in which a large number of school going
children have been left without schools, teachers and teaching supplies.
114

Overall objective of the project is to contribute to the national efforts for the prevention and eventual elimination of child labour in the
earthquake affected areas of Pakistan by focusing on the following immediate objectives:
Mainstreaming of child labour issues in crisis in policy documents;
Capacity building of stakeholders;
Provision of education and vocational training to children in worst forms of child labour; and
Linkages of children and families with credit facilities and social safety nets.
The PECLR project aims to target a total of 2,500 children (1,250 girls and 1,250 boys) as direct beneficiaries. These would have
been either engaged in child labour prior to the project, children who continue to be involved in child labour post earthquake or who
are at risk of being engaged in child labour and other exploitative conditions.

A total of 3,670 children received Non-Formal Education (NFE) in 28 Rehabilitation Centres (RCs) and out of these 2,169
children have been mainstreamed into government schools;
All the RCs were run and managed by Committee for Management of Rehabilitation Centres (CMRCs). A total of 28
CMRCs had been formed including female representation;
Eight networks on Monitoring of Child Labour (NMLC) at union council level were established;
A total of 549 children and 217 mothers received marketable vocational training. As a result 125 families were linked with
different social safety nets and business groups in the areas. That is one of the examples of economic sustainability;
A total of 125 families of working children were linked with social safety nets and Micro-Finance Institutes;
A report A need assessment of child labour in Balakot is prepared. The report provided a benchmark data for effective
intervention to address the needs of direct beneficiaries;
A report Mainstreaming Child Labour Prevention in Crisis and Disaster Response is prepared. The report will shared
with governments agencies and other organizations working in disaster areas to include child labour concerns in their policy
documents;
A total of 15 training workshops (550 participants) to enhance the capacity of stakeholders were conducted. The
participants were sensitized on child labour issues to take necessary action to eliminate child labour in disaster areas. The
group of journalists wrote articles in the local newspaper to highlight child labour and suggested action for elimination of child
labour; and
Training manuals on child labour laws to sensitize law enforcement agencies, public departments and community groups
keeping in view the crisis/disaster requirement designed. These manual have been translated into national language that
provide guidance to various groups of stakeholders to take measure against child labour.

115

3. Combating Child Labour through Education and Training (CCLET)


The project has been successful in withdrawing and rehabilitating around 5,000 children (50 per cent girls) from labour situation
including its worst forms. Under the vocational skills training component around 2500 children (above 14 years of age, and 50 per
cent girls) and around 250 mothers have received skills to become useful members of their respective families. Moreover, awareness
programmes for families, especially mothers, have also been carried out. The project is successful in bridging gender gaps arising
from the infrastructural and cultural constraints compromising girls access to schooling. Presently, 50 per cent of the target group
consists of females.
The project through various interventions has mainstreamed child labour concerns into the governments formal teachers training
programme to prevent school dropout within the primary level. The project has so far succeeded in training around 10,000 primary
school government teachers on child labour.
Achievements: Use of NFE curricula and materials in a number of child labour prevention/withdrawal projects, the implementing
agencies use their own curricula and diverse training material to conduct NFE, literacy and skills training programmes. The
implementing NGOs in the SDCDANIDA projects have used a common curriculum, training material and methodology, indicators and
standards for all the children covered in the four project districts where direct service delivery is being provided. Using common
curriculum, teaching materials and information systems by various implementing partners facilitates both quality control and potential
for mainstreaming and scale up. It also becomes comparatively easy to assess the performance of each implementing partner. This
good practice of the two projects with similar objectives and outputs has the potential to be adapted countrywide.
The project database is also an extremely valuable instrument in analysing the situation of the working children, monitoring the
implementation of the project measures and in designing more precise strategies. All partners of the project have recognized the
value of this database. This good practice of the project has the potential to be replicated countrywide.
4. Combating Child Labour in the Carpet Industry (Phase II)
The project is based on an agreement signed between the PCMEA (Pakistan Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Association) and
the ILO that ended in 2009. The project is implemented in nine districts of Punjab and one district in Sindh Province. This increased
the total direct beneficiaries to about 27,000 carpet weaving children and their siblings.
116

Provision of non-formal education has formed the main component of the project and has achieved prevention of 1,472 boys and
2,191 girls and withdrawal of 4,314 boys and 11,338 girls from carpet weaving. This translated in significant changes in the
community. Also, successful mainstreaming of 49 per cent NFE enrolled children into government schools, increased the chances of
a child getting an education that is more likely to multiply his/her chances of better life opportunity because it reduces their working
hours drastically.
The project conducted 1,826 monitoring visits of carpet weaving sites in Sheikhupura; 2,067 in Faisalabad; and 1,449 in Multan. The
ILO-IPEC monitors were able to carry out awareness raising meetings with communities and built close connection with the
community groups, which facilitated the social mobilization processes.
Under the project, different activities were carried out in order to build the capacity of the community in different target districts.
Income-generation and micro-credit component furnished support to the carpet weaving families to wriggle out of the stress of poverty
and relieve the children from work to get education.
In the light of lessons learnt and experience gained so far, the project is pursuing long-term sustainability strategies in the target
districts. Partnerships with the local government and other stakeholders are being forged to prolong the project impact in for the
carpet weaving child labourers and their families.
5. Activating Media to Combat Worst Forms of Child Labour in Pakistan (Phase II)
This project aims to contribute to national efforts towards reducing and effectively eliminating worst forms of child labour in the
country. The immediate objectives of the programme are:
The capacity of media professionals and institutions will be enhanced to effectively advocate for the implementation of
hazardous labour and the enforcement of the ILO Convention on the worst forms of child labour (C182);
Two annual national awareness campaigns on worst forms of child labour would be launched to mobilize public opinion
for its elimination; and
An effective mechanism will be established through institutionalization for strategic media actions for advocacy and
information campaigns against WFCL.
The projects key results are:

Electronic and print media has started to cover proactively the issue of child labour including its worst forms. For the last
many years, on 12 June World Day Against Child Labour media has started reporting on the child labour issue. This has been
117

the direct result of organizing training of 920 journalists from radio, television and print across the country. Moreover, the project
has helped establish five media coalitions nationally and provincially and these also encourage a media discourse on child
labour issues.
Series of media products including television and radio drama, talk shows, newspaper articles have been produced/
broadcasted/published to enhance public awareness on and fight against worst forms of child labour. A total of 55 television
products, 60 radio products and 54 newspaper articles have helped create widespread awareness among the media community
and public in general about the issue of child labour in Pakistan. Moreover, the national media campaigns against employment of
children have also been held on various television channels.

Efforts to promote Elimination of Gender Discrimination


1. Promoting Gender Equality for Decent Employment (GE4DE)
The project is based upon ILOs conviction that gender equality in the world of work is a fundamental matter of human rights, social
justice and is instrumental in achieving social and economic development goals.
The project has three distinct but integrated components:
Strengthening national mechanisms to promote equal employment opportunities for women;
Under this component, the project will inform and sensitize stakeholders on issues of gender equality and constraints in the
existing policy and legal framework, and enhance their skills and knowledge to address them. Activities will be undertaken to
develop the capacity of Government, employers and trade unions to design and implement policies and programmes that reflect
real needs, genuine priorities and interests of workers, particularly women;
Enhancing skills and employability of poor women in rural and urban areas of selected districts;
A targeted 6,300 poor women and men, from urban and rural areas of Pakistan, will be trained in employable skills using the
ILOs Training for Rural Economic Empowerment (TREE) methodology. TREE is a comprehensive community-based training
package that helps identify and assess local economic opportunities, design and deliver community-based skills development
and provide post-training services;
Strengthening capacity of media to raise awareness on issues related to working women; and
118

Activities under this component will build the capacity of media and communication specialists on gender sensitive
communications, national policy frameworks on gender equality and international labour standards. Information will be
interactively shared through promotional and informative packages in national and regional languages.
2. Towards Gender Parity in Pakistan Project (TGP)
The ILO in partnership with 14 other UN agencies started this joint project to ensure equal access to decent work and productive
employment for women and men is essential as a sustainable way out of poverty.
Within the overall framework of this programme, ILO has a mandate to assess the gender disparities in employment sector and
facilitate corrective measures at all levels particularly by involving key labour market stakeholders, i.e., Government, Employers,
Workers / Trade Unions and others. The project is part of One-UN Joint Program on Agriculture, Rural Development and Poverty
Reduction (ARP) Joint Programme Component-2: Decent Employment & Poverty Alleviation and is designed to contribute to the
following joint programme outcomes:
Joint programme outcome-1: Strengthened institutions and enabling policy framework to promote gendered governance;
Joint output 1.1: Enhanced capacity of key Government institutions and civil society to develop gender sensitive policies;
Joint programme outcome-2: Improved business development services for womens entrepreneurship; and
Joint programme output-5: Enhanced awareness of gender disparity and implementation of gender equality in the
employment sector.
The project has successfully initiated the following interventions:

In collaboration with Ministry of Labour & Manpower, established a Coordination Forum for Gender Equality for all labour
market stakeholders;
Engaged Employers Federation of Pakistan (EFP) in capacity building, promotion of Gender Equality Policy and helping
women in managing glass ceiling in private sector; and
Engaged Pakistan Workers Federation (PWF) and All Pakistan Labour Federation (APLF) in capacity building of trade
unions, adoption of Gender Equality Policy and promoting gender-responsive work practices in line with relevant ILO
Conventions.
A series of studies on gender disparities in following areas:
Skills development;
Employment programmes;
Youth employment;

119

Support for policy on Home-Based Workers and ratification of the Home Work Convention, 1996 (No.177); and
Piloting different models for providing integrated support to home-based workers

3. Women Employment Concerns and Working Conditions


Given its poverty reduction thrust, the project seeks to contribute towards Pakistans efforts towards the attainment of the MDG goal
of promoting gender equality and empowerment and the reduction of poverty in the country. The integrated and holistic approach of
project focuses on economic empowerment of women and seeks to:

Ensure non-discrimination and equality at the workplace through sensitization of state functionaries and policy makers;

Provide direct assistance to 6,000 women to attain decent employment to developing womens and skills, especially
entrepreneurial capabilities;

Strengthen womens participation and leadership in trade unions; and

Promote gender equality in private sector organizations through developing affirmative action and strategies at the
industrial level.
At the completion of the project in April 2010, 694 Government officers at NIPA5, CSA, and STIs are sensitized through training on
ILS, women employment concerns and gender diversity at work place, 267 Parliamentarians have been trained on issues that women
come across in the world of work. Women Councilors and Master Trainers have been trained to develop supplementary modules.
Thirty-seven participants including members of NCSW, 35 officials of GRAP Punjab have been trained with Gender Audit Skills. And
Fellowships have been offered to ILOs constituents for international trainings at TURIN. In collaboration with Telenor, the initiative of
Bridging the Digital divide between Rural and Urban areas of Pakistan has been quite a success through which 20 women and men
have been trained on ICT and 5 are provided hardware to set up ICT Kiosks. Skill Training to 700 women in Garment factories in
collaboration with Ministry of Textile has been another important target that has been met.
In addition, under the project best practices on GE policy implementation in 50 private sector organizations have been compiled.
Series of training workshops on Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Women in management have taken place training over 350 women and
developing 5-8 young women students as entrepreneurs and capacity building seminars to advocate for gender equality policy at
work place has been arranged at 4 out of 7 regions.

Efforts for Elimination of Bonded Labour from Pakistan

1. Promoting the Elimination of Bonded Labour System in Pakistan


Amongst the variations of forced labour, the most prevalent form that exists in Pakistan is debt bondage. Economic sectors with
incidences of bonded labour are brick kilns, agriculture, domestic service, construction and others.
The project was designed to address policy and capacity development concerns through both up and downstream interventions
across the country. Major outcomes include increased budgetary allocations to programmes on the elimination of bonded labour by
Provincial governments. The Punjab Government, in its 2010-2011 Annual Development Programme has allocated PKR123 million
extend relief and rehabilitation measures including education, adult literacy, skills training, health, micro finance, social security
benefits, social protection and citizenship to workers of brick kilns in Punjab.
Over 1,800 children and 300 men and women have benefitted from non-formal education and adult literacy programmes. 70 families
and more than 3,500 men, women, children, disabled, and elderly are being provided with health facilities and medical aid. Adults are
also linked with NADRA for registration and the issuance of national identity cards (CNIC) for legal and social empowerment. Skills
training and microfinance are also being extended to indebted families working at the brick kilns in Lahore and Kasur.
A stakeholders legal review of the Bonded Labour System Abolition Act 1992 has made a number of proposals to amend the bonded
labour law regime which is being taken up by the Ministry of Labour and Manpower (MoLM).
Hundreds of persons have been freed through the National Coalition Against Bonded Labour (NCABL) and member NGOs/CSOs and
trade unions through district session judges in Sindh. With ILO technical support, the Pakistan Workers Federation (PWF) has
provided legal aid to 20 bonded labour families and has additionally mobilized more than 1,000 workers and helped them to organize
for the protection of their rights.
Labour Inspectors have been sensitized on gender equality and the concerns of women and other vulnerable workers and a resource
kit is being used by practitioners. To create, maintain and share knowledge developed under the project toolkits and booklets that can
be used as guidelines and references for implementing partners and service delivery providers have been made available.

121

In addition, important resolutions have been submitted by two Provincial Assemblies for the design of interventions and national
programmes to eliminate the practice of bonded labour at Provincial and District levels. This has been a significant outcome of the
sensitization programme of parliamentarians under PEBLIP. A model Friday Sermon has also been developed on labour rights and
international labour standards including bonded and child labour in the context of Islamic teachings.
The Employers Federation of Pakistan and Pakistan Workers Federation have played significant roles in initiating social dialogue
processes among brick kiln owners, other employers and workers representatives. Model contracts for workers in the brick kiln sector
have also been developed to prevent any form of exploitation. The same is being replicated for other economic sectors.
This initiative has demonstrated that a sustainable solution for the elimination of bonded labour in Pakistan can be achieved through
dialogue, institutional capacity development and the empowerment of workers complemented by fair regulatory frameworks and
protection mechanisms.
The project completed in April 2010.
Promoting Employment & Skills in Pakistan
1. Community Based Livelihoods Recovery Project (CBLRP)
The project activities were concentrated into the two severely affected sub-Districts, i.e., Balakot (District Mansehra) and Muzaffarbad
(AJK). Within the overall livelihoods recovery framework, ILO had a distinct role of rehashing Non-Farm Sector in the postearthquake scenario with particular focus on following two outputs:

9,000 men and women trained in construction and other non-farm skills; and

140 kilometers of rural link roads rehabilitated through labour-based technologies.


The project was successfully completed in April 2009.

2. Capacity Enhancement of Ministry of Labour through Establishment of Labour Market Information and Analysis Unit

122

In order to address the short comings of the existing Labour Market Information System (LMIS) of the Ministry of Labour and
Manpower, a Labour Market Information and Analysis Unit has been established to provide up-to-date and timely Labour Market
Information and Analysis that will serve as an input into the formulation and monitoring of labour and employment policies.
The project has achieved the following results;
Capacity building exercises have been conducted for the staff of Ministry of Labour and Manpower, FBS and the Provincial
Departments of Labour. Internships are being provided to local university students.
Delivering as ONE UN
1. Mainstreaming Decent Work through One-UN
Piloting UN reform in Pakistan is in the stage of full-scale engagement of stakeholders with tangible advancement on the ground. The
Government has provided needed support in terms of leadership and ownership of the process, line Ministries are actively and
systematically engaged in the process, donor community has reiterated its support to the process, concepts and modalities of joint
programming have been established, and in various cases, interventions have started on-ground. It is imminent for the sustainability
of joint programs that these are founded on the principles of social justice and decent work agenda so that the dividends of
development are fairly distributed among all relevant beneficiaries.

mobilization at national level.
Post-Crises Support in livelihoods rehabilitation
1. Flood Response
In order to meet the needs of the population in the flood afflicted areas in the country, the ILO urged that programmes aimed at
generating new employment and other income-producing opportunities be incorporated into the rehabilitation and reconstruction
programmes that will need to be immediately undertaken following the relief efforts now underway. These would include employment
support services to provide both information and short-term training for the jobs that will be generated through the reconstruction
effort; financial and institutional support to rebuild small businesses and income-generating assets in both the rural and urban areas.
Such programmes would include:

Identifying and registering the affected populations that have lost their livelihoods;

Recording and classifying job seekers and allocating workers to reconstruction efforts in need of skilled labour;

Developing local capacities to implement emergency employment services;

Linking unemployed people with available work opportunities;

Assisting in restoring the capacity of local government to provide basic services needed by the population and to
coordinate rebuilding efforts during both emergency and post-emergency phases;
125


Assisting in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of public infrastructure with focus on employment intensive approaches
to maximize job opportunities for local population;
