Zimbabwean To Head Caribbean International Labour Organisation Office

Nearly 580 000 Zimbabwean youths left the country for greener pastures in 2020 alone, a recent International Labour Organisation (ILO) report has established.
The report, titled Labour Market Diagnostic Analysis (LMDA), states that the number does not consider net migration, which has been negative, with numerous workers leaving the country in search of better work opportunities in neighbouring countries and further afield. The report says:
<blockquote>
It is estimated that in 2020, net migration the number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants was close to 580 000 people. Although there is no accurate data on the number of the working-age population, leaving the country to work abroad.
The most recent study suggests that 72% of outgoing migrants fall in the 20 to 34 years age group. In addition, 40% were women and 73% completed secondary education.
The majority of emigrants cited a lack of employment opportunities as the major reason for leaving the country. Most worked in the agricultural sector before their departure. South Africa was the leading destination chosen by emigrants, followed by Botswana. 
Unfortunately, due to their irregular status, most Zimbabwean emigrants appear to occupy low-quality jobs characterised by the absence of employment contracts and social protection.
</blockquote>
The report observes that other things being equal, women and young workers are four times more likely to be inactive than men and adult workers respectively.
Youth who enter the labour market may also face additional barriers to finding a job, partly due to a lack of work experience, difficulties signalling their skills to employers, fewer opportunities to access capital and lower levels of social capital.

International Labour organisation has released a report that claims that 38% of workers In Zimbabwe are under-qualified for their jobs, New Zimbabwe reports.
According to the publication, the document said:
<blockquote>Zimbabwe’s share of over-educated 13% and share of under educated 38%.
Under-education is more common and more serious in low-income countries than elsewhere, while over-education is more prevalent in high-income countries.
The ten countries with the highest share of workers in mismatch by educational level are all either low income or lower-middle income</blockquote>
The same report further reiterates that Zimbabwe’s neighbours are not fairing very well in the same category either:
<blockquote>Other three regional counterparts classified as upper middle income economy like Botswana has 12% over-educated and 48% under-educated with Namibia having 17 % over-educated and 48 % under-educated with South Africa, which has 30% over-educated and 21% under-educated.</blockquote>

WATCH: Govt Reviews Minimum Wages For Domestic Workers

The number of people in the country earning a living from the informal sector is said to have risen to 95 per cent in 2014 from 84 per cent in 2011. This was revealed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in a report titled “Zimbabwe Assessment Report on the Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises” (EESE). The report partly reads
<blockquote>50,3 per cent of survey respondents believed the regulatory environment in Zimbabwe was sometimes a hindrance to running a small business, with 15,2 per cent finding it a major obstacle. High informality, high public debt and weak domestic demand are some negative features of the Zimbabwean economy.
While attempts have been made to attract foreign direct investment, national macroeconomic policies have acted as deterrents. With 67,5 per cent of the population engaged in agriculture, the failure of the farming sector has had a negative effect on the economy.
Zimbabwe’s most pressing challenges in this area include power, transport and water. Forty-nine (49) per cent of survey respondents found the roads in Zimbabwe to be very poor and 33,9 per cent said they were poor.</blockquote>

Zimbabwe's Informal Sector Rises To 95 Percent: ILO Study

The government which is struggling to meet its financial obligations has been criticised for sending a bloated delegation to the 106th International Labour Organisation (ILO) conference in Geneva, Switzerland scheduled for next week. Zimbabwe will be sending 30 delegates, a number which has been criticised for being unnecessarily high, especially when compared with countries whose economies are performing much better than Zimbabwe’s. For example, South Africa will be sending seven people, Malawi fifteen and New Zealand nine.
<blockquote>Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions secretary general, Japhet Moyo, told the Financial Gazette: 
They (government) are not respecting the ILO regulations on sponsorship of conference delegates. Only one delegate from labour and business will receive sponsorship and the rest will be funding themselves, yet there are people being funded by government to Geneva who are not going to be participating in any committee.
Countries which respect workers’ rights have no need to bring such a huge delegation because they have nothing to defend. This could only be avoided by respecting labour rights. However, the government officials who made the decision to send thirty people took advantage of the trip to award themselves of extra income.</blockquote>
The government may spend at least US$300 000 in airfares, accommodation and travel allowances for the 30 man delegation.

Zimbabwe is among the countries that is set to appear before the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on allegations of failing to ratify Convention 105 which prohibits forced labour.
Zimbabwe is number 40 on the list. Convention 105 urges State Parties to work towards eliminating forced labour by enacting domestic laws that prohibit forced labour which according to the Convention refers to situations in which persons are coerced to work through the use of violence or intimidation or by more subtle means such as accumulated debt, retention of identity papers or threats of denunciation to immigration authorities.
Speaking to NewsDay, Labour and Social Welfare minister Priscah Mupfumira said she was not aware that Zimbabwe was on the ILO agenda for the international conference, but said that government is in the process of ratifying Convention 105 and said that there were no cases of forced labour in Zimbabwe. Other SADC countries that are set to appear before ILO are Zambia and Botswana.
