ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Enhance Labour Safety Net
by Introducing an Unemployment
Insurance Scheme (UIS)
A sound framework for unemployment benefits, will act as a safety
net for individuals who are in the process of applying for jobs and
provide supportive income to them during this process.
MOHR has appointed the International Labour Organisation
to undertake a comprehensive study and to propose
recommendation on the design of the UIS which is practical,
sustainable and appropriate to be implemented in Malaysia as
well as creating a favourable environment for the business and
flexible labour market.
The study conducted will facilitate and support the design of UIS
in Malaysia through:
• Production of research (international comparative and
benchmarking study and Malaysian labour market analysis)
• Development of capacities of workers, employers and the
government
• Facilitation of dialogue (tripartite workshop) on the best
suitable model for Malaysia
• Technical assistance for the design of the system (actuarial,
legal, institutional set up and linkages with employment
services and vocational training)
• Facilitation of a tripartite forum to discuss the proposed design
before the report is finalized and submitted to the Malaysian
236
government
The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. The
UIS is targeted to be implemented by 2013.
Undertake a Labour Market Forecast
and Survey Programme
The Institute of Labour Market Information and Analysis (ILMIA)
is set-up to provide comprehensive and timely labour market
information, as a key-decision making tool for workforce planning
and skills development, in industries, especially the NKEA sectors.
ILMIA is tasked to:
• Provide a centralised and interactive database as a basis for indepth
analysis on the labour market to support formulation of
policies and decision making
• Correct the information gap currently existing in relation to
labour market information
• Form the basis for a thorough analysis and forecast of
workforce demands and supply for each industry sub-sector
• ILMIA output to feed into education system and worker
training schemes to generate quality workforce with the right
training skills
ILMIA will replace the current National Institute of Human
Resource and is undergoing a structural reform to ensure greater
effectiveness and efficiency in its existing and new fuctions.
ILMIA has commissioned for work to begin on labour market
analysis reports for two NKEA sectors i.e. E&E and OGE. The reports
are scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of 2012.
