Improving labour market information,
research and analysis – Regional technical
assistance should focus on ensuring regular, at
least annual, production of key sex-disaggregated
labour market data for all ASEAN Member States.
This should involve comparative indicators
based on international definitions – improving
the measurement of earnings and skills differentials and strengthening the information base
on gender, informality and inequality, youth
unemployment and labour migration. Data
are also needed to address the needs of private
sector enterprises and must be shared between
countries as well as between public and private
sectors to promote evidenced-based research and
analysis of the AEC labour market impacts.
