Development of LMI Dashboard
ILMIA has developed the Dashboard and launched it on 12 Dec 2013.
The LMI Dashboard covers information on :
MOVING FORWARD & RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Useful set of historical and forward looking LMIs .- use the 18 KILM of the ILO, mostly historical LMIs- on the basis of current and database to be developed, agree on priority forward
looking LMIs
2. Consolidate all labour market databases into a central warehouse to facilitateresearch and analysis
3. Outreach to all stakeholders on usefulness of LMIs and obtain feedback to streamline contents of Dashboard.
4. Utilise an appropriate channel for the effective dissemination of the Dashboard, research and analysis of labour market trends and issues.
5. Strive to make the Dashboard and the associated LMIs as key components and foundation for a revamped human capital planning framework.
6. Accelerate the capability building of ILMIA and leverage best practices and operatingmodel. i.e World Bank, ILO, JILPT, Korea, UKCES.
The development of comprehensive LMI will help Malaysia in formulating
constructive policy towards achieving high income nation.
The development and enhancement of LMI Dashboard will bridge the gap
between demand and supply in the labour market
Human capital development for increasing the workers’ competencies in
Malaysia can be achieved through capacity building.
The continuous updating system capabilities will be able to fulfill the need of
various groups
Continuous engagement and collaboration between various ministries,
agencies and private organisations through workshops, seminars and other
means to ensure the dashboard can meet the expectations of every
individuals.
Provide adequate and technically competent staffs, and improve capacity
building to ensure they remain competent in LMI field.
