The Public Employment Service Office is responsible for implementing labor market programs to promote full employment and equality of employment services. This study assessed the level of implementation of the services of the public employment service office of a component city in the areas of local employment in terms of labor market information, referral and placement, career and employment coaching, provision of livelihood and employment programs, and special employment in terms of reintegration assistance, employability enhancement, pre-employment counseling, and other services as assessed by local and overseas jobseekers and local business and overseas employment agencies.  It also investigated the challenges encountered by the respondents in availing these services. This descriptive-comparative study used a researcher-made survey instrument administered to randomly selected local and overseas job seekers and local and overseas business and employment agencies.  Using descriptive and inferential analyses, the study yielded a very high level of implementation which implies that the services by the PESO promoted job generation and addressed unemployment although, a significant difference was revealed in the implementation of labor market information and self-employment programs and services. The study recommended the enactment of local laws to enhance employment facilitation.

This paper assesses whether the expansion of online job vacancies leads to a more efficient labor market. We provide compelling evidence that the increase in online job vacancy penetration in Colombia has had an enhancing effect on the labor market's efficiency by making it easier for firms to find workers to fill their job openings. An estimation of the Beveridge Curve (unemployment to vacancies relationship), a well-established theoretical development from search models, concludes that policies that increase online vacancy posting enhance efficiency. We implement a differences in differences design to take advantage of a regulation, which mandates that all authorized online vacancy providers report any online vacancy to the Public Employment Service in Colombia. We find that sub-segments of the labor market with a relevant fraction of their vacancies posted online, presented on average nearly 15% lower vacancy rate for a given unemployment rate. Therefore, for these sub-segments, the Beveridge curve shifted inwards due to efficiency enhancements. These findings support active search policies to reduce information barriers, which reduce the odds of firms and workers finding one other in the labor market. Policies as those implemented by the Public Employment Service in Colombia seem to be beneficial.

Labor Resources

The issue of proper and careful use of the country’s labor resources is nowadays one of the most pressing ones. Low employment rates with low levels of remuneration, shadow labor market, and high rates of labor migration from Ukraine pose a threat to the economic and social security of the state. Under such conditions, the question of national employment policy development is highly relevant. The goal of this policy is to create optimal conditions in the labor market. It is also important to develop the public employment service as a social partner of labor market entities. The main objectives of this service are to help people find employment in Ukraine, analyze the labor market, assist people in organizing their entrepreneurial activities, provide vocational guidance and training, help specific categories of citizens with workplace and employment issues, provide financial and information support for the unemployed, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to form innovative approaches and solutions that will enable creation of a service-oriented model of the development of national employment policy. This model provides for use of outsourcing technology to optimize the employment tasks entrusted to government agencies. In this case, it is proposed that job search services for competitive citizens be transferred from public employment centers to private agencies that provide recruiting and outsourcing services. Interaction with employers and selection of jobs for specific categories of citizens should be left to units of the public employment service. An important task confronting regional employment centers is to analyze the requirements for skills and knowledge that employers want in their employees, industry prospects of job offers, staff turnover rates, and reasons for dismissal of employees. Participation of regional employment centers in regional clusters is innovative. Employment centers will supplement production and technical cooperation with required labor resources supply service. Cooperation of regional employment centers with business structures and institutions of higher education will help update the content of education, develop effective educational programs, and raise the quality of theoretical and practical training of students to match the current needs of the labor market for their successful employment in the future. Systematic labor market analysis will make it possible to propose measures to create conditions for legalization of employment and bringing the labor market out of the shadow based on social positions. As a result, this will lead to transformation of the labor force into a driving factor in the economic development and social well-being.

Public Employment Services (PES) are identified as important institutions in the process of improving the match between supply and demand in the labor market, which, despite their importance, still do not achieve the desired efficiency. The indicated problem is partly due to the lack of appropriate evaluation methods for the applied labor market policy instruments. This paper aims to verify the possibility of using the two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method in measuring the efficiency of public sector entities. The authors focused on 39 PES operating in Mazovia province, Poland in 2019. In the first stage, the model of technical efficiency of local PES included six variables (four inputs and two outputs). Only seven PES obtained full efficiency. The inefficiency of analyzed PES varied from about 1% to 80%. In the second stage, the attention focuses on the relationship between true unknown efficiency and its determinants (five environmental variables, both demand and supply oriented). Then, the regression coefficients and confidence intervals showed that three out of five variables influence the efficiency results, the share of the long-term unemployed, the share of the unemployed under 30, and the share of the unemployed over 50 in the total number of unemployed.
