MUSCAT There is a need to enhance the skills of all involved in collating data and statistics in planning for human resources and labour market in the Arab countries. They also have to be familiar with the modern developments, in the field, HE Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Bakri said on Saturday.
Al Bakri said that the seminar organised by the Manpower Ministry in collaboration with the Arab Labour Organisation (ALO) and which began on Saturday is a continuation of the efforts by the ministry and ALO for the future of the Arab labour market. The seminar aims at developing statistics of labour market, standardising statistical concepts and approaches and building standardised Arab statistical systems, he said.
Ahmad Mohammed Luqman, ALO secretary-general, said that the ALO is satisfied with providing attractive investment environment in the Sultanate, which will in turn provide opportunities for job seekers and alleviate their problem. The ALO is currently implementing a project to set up an Arab Network for Work Market Data.
