Disruptive factors related to
technology, market integration, and social and demographic
change imply upcoming changes in the needs of the labor
force. This study reviews the current approach to active
labor market policies (ALMPs) globally and, based on the
evidence and accounting for these factors, discusses
desirable attributes for a resilient national active labor
policy system, which covers universal access, tailored
beneficiary service bundles, private sector linkages, using
available technology, demand-driven skills training,
measuring performance, social enterprises, and labor market
demand side policy. Considering these attributes, we propose
a public sector approach focused on supporting service
providers rather than direct service provision. The approach
revolves around: (i) Active Labor Policies (ALPs), referring
to public expenditures on services aimed at improving the
labor force's engagement in productive economic
activity; (ii) Active Labor Policy Providers (ALPPs),
referring to the entities that implement activities
associated with ALPs; and (iii) the ALPP sector, referring
to the set of existing ALPPs in a country. We also highlight
potential actions by governments to transition into this
model, such as contracting services out; service brokerage;
service provider registries, accreditation, and incentives;
integrated monitoring and evaluation systems; and aligning
supply and demand side policy. |
