In many countries, governments have been developing electronic information systems to support in labour market in form of on-line services, web-based application as well as one-stop service. One of the biggest challenges is to facilitate the seamless exchange of labour market information (LMI) across governmental departments. This chapter introduces an efficient implementation of Thailand’s e-government interoperability project in LMI systems using service oriented architecture (SOA) based on XML web service technology. In Thailand, the Ministry of Labour (MOL) has developed a Ministry of Labour Operation Center (MLOC) as the center for gathering, analyzing and monitoring LMI to assist the policy makers. The MOL consists of four departments: department of employment, department of labour protection and welfare, department of skill development, and social security office. Thsse departments utilize electronic systems to manage LMI such as employment, labour protection and welfare, skill development and social security. Provincially, MOL has 75 branches called “labour provincial offices” located at 75 provinces in Thailand. Each office has developed a “Provincial Labour Operation Center or PLOC” as the operating center in the province where the information system called “PLOC” system has been developed to analyze and monitor the localized labour information for the provincial policy-makers. Since these systems differ, it requires the process of data harmonization, modeling and standardizations using UN/CEFACT CCTS and XML NDR for achieving the common XML schema standard, with the implementation of SOA to integrate efficiently all those systems. We apply TH e-GIF guidelines for interoperable data exchanges and the XML schema standardization. In Thailand, the first Thailand e-Government Interoperability Framework – the TH e-GIF - came into being in November 2006. This chapter illustrates main concepts of TH e-GIF, the project background and methodology as well as key leverage factors for the project.

Salary Survey

Virtually all large organizations consider labour market information in their wage-level decisions. Decisions must be made on what jobs and organizations are to be surveyed, type and quantity of information to be collected, and methods of collecting, analysing and interpreting data. Considering all these variables, the organization is faced with the impracticality of adjusting its pay structure according to a market pay curve which inadequately reflects market ‘going rates’. This study indicates the extent to which a single pay structure received differing adjustments as a result of applying three different salary survey methods to the same labour market over a seven-year period. Results indicate differences in average salary range values obtained from the respective survey methods which varied from 0,4% to 10,8%. Differences in ranges at the lower levels of the job hierarchy varied from 2,3% to 10,8%; and at the upper-levels from 1,1% to 13,2%. These discrepancies suggest problems in terms of cost to the organization, in that ultimately surveys chase surveys, and in terms of effects on the inflation rate.

Labour market information (LMI) represents a core component of the knowledge required for career development interventions. It distinguishes the work of career development practitioners from other kinds of helping. Yet practitioners often find it challenging to keep this knowledge current and mediate it effectively to different audiences. Career theory helps identify a variety of possible assumptions that might underpin the use of LMI in practice. Although information and communications technology plays an increasingly important role in accessing and disseminating reliable and robust LMI, research indicates that face-to-face interventions with career professionals continue to have the greatest impact with clients. Consequently, referring clients to LMI online seems unlikely to maximize positive outcomes because expert mediation by professionals of the meaning of the information for their own particular situation is frequently necessary. Indeed, professionalism, a concept with which most career development practitioners identify, demands that minimum standards are maintained, including practice based on expert, current LMI. In this chapter, ways of enhancing the effectiveness of LMI as an integral part of overall career interventions are discussed.

AbstractLabour Market Information forms a central place in career practice and how individuals enact their careers. This paper makes use of Alvesson and Sandberg’s (Constructing research questions: doing interesting research. Sage, Thousand Oaks, 2013) methodology of focussing research on theoretical assumptions to construct a critical literature review on the relationship between Labour Market Information and career guidance. This paper presents six theoretical conceptions from the career literature: Contact, Rationalism, Nomad, Adaptability, Constructivist and Social Justice. We will argue for the need to move towards more constructivist understandings of Labour Market Information as well understandings linked to more critical understandings of the labour market.

Labour market research consistently demonstrates that finding and securing appropriate employment are key determinants of immigrant well-being and integration to Canada. Various policy-oriented initiatives are continually initiated by Canada's "Third sector" actors to address multiple barriers immigrants confront in the labour market. While awaiting progress, the difficulties recent immigrants face in Canada's increasingly competitive local labour markets has increased. This amplifies the need for re-examining early interventions. This paper explores what and how labour market information (LMI) is mediated to recent immigrants at the earliest stages of settlement, and through a qualitative content analysis assesses how the LMI can inform and support labour market decisions of recent immigrants seeking employment in Canada. Findings uncover overwhelming amounts and varied quality of LMI available from Canada's labour force development providers. This leaves recent immigrants unable to independently make realistic, informative and suitable employment choices needed to integrate in the Canadian labour market.
