| Summary: | The Lao People’s Democratic Republic
(PDR) has made substantial progress in poverty reduction
even though its resource-based development pattern has
historically limited the impact of growth on poverty
reduction. The objective of the assessment is to support the
Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (MOLSW) in their
planned reforms of labor market institutions and systems in
Lao; in particular by supporting investments in a
comprehensive Labor Market Information System (LMIS) for
improved jobseeker data collection and analytics, jobseeker
profiling, and assignment to various employment support
programs such as vocational trainings and job search
assistance. The target audience of this report is the
technical staff and management at the department levels as
well as the policy makers at the MOLSW, Ministry of Planning
and Investment (MPI) as well as the Ministry of Finance (MOF). |
