Labour Ministry develops new database to deal with inefficiencies

The Ministry of Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions has announced that it is developing the Ghana Labour Market Information System (GLMIS) database to enable the labour department to provide quality service delivery to job seekers.

The system, which can be accessed on www.glmis.gov.gh, is designed to provide the main interface that facilitates interaction between job seekers and employers.

Addressing the media on Wednesday (28 August), the sector minister, Ignatius Baffour Awuah said the development of the database forms part of activities by the Employment Ministry under the third component of the Ghana Jobs and Skills Project being funded by the World Bank to support skills development and job creation.

“The Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations is implementing component 3 of the project which is focused on improving the capacity of the Labour Department for enhanced coordination of the labour market” the minister emphasised.

The Minister added that the platform will provide data on skills in demand and identify gaps for training and development, as well as enable employers to make informed decisions on the labour market.

The platform allows employers to declare existing job vacancies for jobseekers to upload their Curriculum Vitae (CVs) for job-matching

The minister was optimistic that the GMLIS will reduce job mismatch, unemployment, and under-employment as some teething problems in the labor market that the government has to tackle, adding that the platform will enhance the coordination of the labour market.

“Furthermore, as the system generates timely reports regarding the true state of the labour market, the government would be in a better position to make policy interventions for maximum impact on the labour market.”

Baffour Awuah emphasised that the project will help address the logistical and infrastructural challenges that have hindered the labour department from delivering efficient services effectively.
