1. Labor Policy Formulation: The ministry formulates and implements national labor policies and strategies aimed at promoting decent work, ensuring fair labor practices, and protecting the rights and welfare of workers. This involves setting labor standards, regulations, and guidelines that govern employment conditions, wages, and social protections.
2. Regulatory Oversight: It enforces labor laws and regulations to ensure compliance by employers, employees, and other stakeholders. This includes regulating working hours, occupational safety and health standards, employment contracts, and labor relations.
3. Workers’ Rights Protection: The ministry protects the rights of workers by advocating for fair treatment, equal opportunities, and non-discrimination in the workplace. This may involve addressing issues such as workplace harassment, discrimination, and exploitation, as well as promoting collective bargaining and workers’ representation.
4.

This may include unemployment benefits, social insurance schemes, and support for occupational rehabilitation and reintegration.

This includes job placement services, vocational training, apprenticeship programs, and support for entrepreneurship and self-employment.

This includes conducting surveys, research studies, and labor market assessments to identify skills shortages, unemployment rates, and other labor market indicators.

This may involve facilitating temporary and permanent migration programs, regulating recruitment agencies, and protecting the rights of migrant workers.
