Monitoring and Reporting, Prevention, Protection, Release, Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Children Affected by Armed Conflict in Myanmar EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ILO in Myanmar works to a restricted mandate for the elimination of forced labour including underage recruitment. The Yangon Liaison Office is also part of the Country Task force for Children in Armed Conflict (CTFMR) working with UN and INGO partners. As a member of the CTFMR the ILO is a full party to an agreed multiple agency project funded by the EU targeted at fulfilling the obligations imposed through the listing of Myanmar under Security Council Resolution 1612 on Children in Armed Conflict. This supports the areas of monitoring and reporting, intervention and release, rehabilitation and reintegration, and training and educating of both Government Authorities (military and civil) and the General Public. The EU funding is for 12 months (50%) of a two year activity on the basis that the individual Agencies party to the project obtain the other 12 months (50%) funding from alternative sources. In respect of these project commitments the ILO has accepted responsibility for supporting the monitoring and reporting, intervention and release, and education and training elements. In this regard the ILO will: 1. Through the strengthening, expansion and improved coordination of its complaint facilitator network and through the operation of the Supplementary Understanding Complaints Mechanism (SU) agreed between the Government of the Union of Myanmar (GoUM) and the ILO, monitor incidents, identify trends and provide resultant information and statistics for inclusion in CTFMR reports. 2. Through the operation of the SU Complaints Mechanism achieve the discharge/ release of underage recruits into the military. Under the SU residents of Myanmar can safely complain to the ILO if they believe that they or their family etc have been subjected to forced labour or underage recruitment. The Liaison Officer assesses the complaint and if deemed genuine and within the scope of the SU will submit the complaint to the GoUM for their verifying investigation. A solution to the complaint is then negotiated which may involve in underage recruitment cases, amongst other things, further training of Government Officials, the discharge of the victim, his release from prison if convicted of desertion and the punishment of the perpetrator under criminal and/or military law. 3. In association with the Ministry of Labour, other CTFMR members and in its own right undertake awareness raising and training activity with Officials (Military and Civil) as to their responsibilities under Myanmar Law and International Conventions; and of Civil Society and the General Public as to their rights under the law.
Education and employment outcomes The 2013 Education for All Global Monitoring Report by UNESCO will examine the effects of education on economic, social, political, environmental and health outcomes (looking both at cross-country and country-specific evidence). As input to the above report, the project output envisaged is a report of about 6,000 words that shall investigate one of these relationships, namely, the effect of education on labour force participation and the quality of employment. Education is known to play a strong role on employment in two broad ways. First, it improves employment chances for women. This happens both because it increases labour force participation and employment (even if the relationship varies across countries according to the level of national income) but also it reduces the gender wage gap. Through these channels, education empowers women at the psychological, cultural, social, economic, and political levels. Second, education is credited with improving the chances of both men and women to access better employment opportunities defined in terms not only of pay but also of occupation, formality and stability (e.g. lapses into unemployment). Labour force surveys provide valuable evidence on these aspects of the relationship between education and employment outcomes. The findings in this report shall provide indications of the extent to which: • females are disadvantaged in relation to their male counterparts in employment outcomes and how the relationship varies by education; and • less educated people are disadvantaged in relation to their more educated counterparts in employment outcomes The analysis will look at the relationship between education and employment characteristics (for the entire population and by gender) disaggregating selected indicators where possible by: • age group • residence • wealth

Bangladesh National Skills Survey In Bangladesh, consolidated information on the full range of public and private training providers and the programs they deliver is not readily available, limiting the ability of industry, government and the public to understand the supply of skills. There is also a lack of clear data on skills demand from industry. As a result there is a mismatch between skills supply and demand. The TVET reform project has completed a proposal for a national skills data system and will contract a firm to develop the database framework in 2010. However; there are no funds set aside to populate the system and undertake the data collection and analysis to produce a major national report on the skills supply-demand situation in the country. The proposed project will work with key stakeholders including the NSDC Secretariat data cell; the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB); Industry Skill Councils (ISC); and other key industry bodies and government agencies. The proposed project will: 1. work with the NSDC Secretariat to coordinate data collection, analyse supply-demand gaps and develop a national summary of the supply and demand for skills that reflects data from both genders; 2. work with key industry bodies to collect demand side data on skills and occupations in demand in the medium and long term; 3. work with key government agencies to collect supply side data on the nature and scope of expected skills supply in the medium and long term; 4. build the capacity of key organisations with key data roles for the future operation of the Bangladesh TVET and skills data system. The project will be implemented in four stages over one year and will start in October 2010.
Strengthening the evidence base on child labour through expanded data collection, data analysis, and research-based global reports Global Research Project 2008 INT/08/93/USA The project will involve catalytic support to national child labour surveys in five ILO Member States, namely, Albania, Lao PDR, Mauritania, Paraguay and Uganda, with a view to help both strengthen national statistical information on CL and build national capacity in regular child labour data generation and utilization. The project will also support the development and application of new research tools for generating information on worst forms of child labour. Forced child labour, commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) and child trafficking, three of the worst forms identified for priority action by ILO Convention No. 182, will be particularly emphasized in this context. Support to data collection will be accompanied by increased efforts to ensure that child labour information is effectively disseminated, and contributes to global awareness and policy debate on child labour. A new pilot World Report on Child Labour will be introduced in this context, in addition to revised Global Child Labour Estimates and a new trend analysis. Multi-country research on corporate social responsibility will be also supported as part of efforts to promote debate on child labour policy issues.

Promoting and building unemployment insurance and employment Under the current worldwide financial and economic crisis, employment situation has been striking badly in Asia. By promoting and building unemployment insurance and employment services, this project aims to bottom-up low income workers and improve people’s welfare, and cultivate effective demands in Asian region as results. Most of the Asian countries, however, do not have fully functional public employment service agencies or unemployment insurance systems. There is a concern that lack of social security for un- and underemployed workers in those countries might lead societal instability incurred by enlargement of gaps and inequalities in society. In this regard, there are immediate needs in particular, unemployment insurance system, and building the capacity of employment service agencies which can implement the system in fair and effective manner. This project aims to provide technical and financial assistance with the expertise of the ILO for building-up unemployment insurance system in Asian countries in collaboration with ASEAN Secretariat. Development objective: To increase awareness and interest among ASEAN countries as well as to provide support in the design, implementation and proper operation of unemployment insurance combined with a range of employment services. Immediate objectives: 1. A platform to extend income-security measures (for those workers who lose employment or whose income is reduced) and employment services for workers in ASEAN countries is strengthened through awareness raising activities and research; 2. Unemployment Insurance scheme in Viet Nam functions effectively, with improved financial sustainability and overall management and increased population covered; 3. A network of expertise among ASEAN countries on unemployment insurance schemes and employment services is strengthened. Direct recipients at ASEAN level: ASEAN secretariat, policy makers, managers and technical staff Direct recipients in Vietnam: The Bureau of Employment (BOE) and Technical departments under Ministry of Labour, Invalid, and Social Affairs (MoLISA), The Viet Nam Social Security(VSS), the provincial and district level Labour administration, and Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations.
Development of Integrated Systems of Social Protection Subsidies can enable the development of microinsurance. Short-term and on-going subsidies can be used to achieve public policy objectives of donors and governments. Subsidies can promote innovation or contribute towards infrastructure development in microinsurance, for example when governments invest in indices for use in agricultural insurance programs to support rural livelihoods and agricultural development. Subsidies for microinsurance can, especially when it is not possible or desirable to create a pure market-based solution, also contribute to affordable and appropriate protection to low-income households. The purpose of the thematic study is to explore the case for subsidies in microinsurance and analyze how subsidies can be efficiently designed and implemented to support microinsurance in achieving the development goals of governments or donors, such as financial inclusion and social protection. A key objective for the study is to define “smart” subsidies and provide a framework to measure what makes it “smart”. It will use the framework to review existing schemes that use subsidies in microinsurance with specific reference to the scheme’s context. The study will examine the pitfalls to avoid when designing schemes – these could include product design issues as well as operational challenges.

Combating child labour through education The Global Conference on Child labour held in The Hague during May 2010 highlighted the fact that acceleration of progress in tackling child labour requires public policies – particularly on education and social protection – to more effectively integrate attention to child labour. The primary objective of the proposed project is to strengthen the policy level linkages between work on child labour and education, leading to national level action which will improve the opportunities for those in, or vulnerable to child labour, to benefit from education. This will be pursued primarily through intensified efforts to integrate attention to child labour in education sector planning processes. At the same time, the project will also support other strategic initiatives to advance efforts to tackle child labour through education.
