EMPLOYMENT AND INFORMALITY(1990-2002):
Most of the increase in employment is in the informal sector. Modern employment grew very little.
Of every 10 new jobs approximately 7 have been informal.
The trend is towards employment in the tertiary sector: 9.4 of every 10 new jobs are in the services sector.
Precarious employment still persists: only 4 of every 10 new jobs provide access to social security systems, and only 2 of every 10 workers in the informal sector have social protection.

NEW ILO RECOMENDATION 195 ON NEW ILO RECOMENDATION 195 ON HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
“Develop a national qualifications framework to facilitate lifelong learning, assist enterprises and employment agencies to match skill demand with supply, guide individuals in their choice of training and career and facilitate the recognition of prior learning and previously acquired skills, competencies and experience; this framework should be responsive to changing technology and trends in the labour market and recognize regional and local differences, without losing transparency at the national level”

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NTA IN THE CARIBBEAN:
• Tripartite consultative councils
• Links between employers and unions
• Great propensity to share competence standards
• The wish to create and spread a national standard classification of occupations
• Competence-based raining oriented by demand
• Sharing the general framework of competence levels
THE CANTA: A KEY CHARACHTERISTIC IN THE CARIBBEAN TVET
• The Caribbean TVET community subscribes to the philosophy and practice of competence-based education and training.
• This is founded on prevailing, locally validated, international occupational standards which describe the specific knowledge, skills and attitudes persons must acquire and demonstrate to be certified at any level with a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in any occupation.
• What this means is that any person certified with an NVQ in an occupation in the region, is equally competent with his or her counterparts certified with their NVQ in that occupation anywhere else in the region.
Robert Gregory.Robert Gregory.
THE CANTA: A ATTAINMENT FOR THE EDUCATION AND VTI IN THE CARIBBEAN:
• The Caribbean TVET community has also developed significant expertise and demonstrated capacity to accredit training institutions and programmes, assess and certify persons including assessment of prior learning and acquired competencies.
• The articulation of competent certificate holders between training institutions and programmes in the region is easily facilitated based on shared common standards.
Robert GregoryRobert Gregory
THE CANTA: AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE EDUCATION AND VTI IN THE CARIBBEAN:
• We subscribe to the view that education is a life long process through which one learns how to learn, learns how to do, learns how to live and work productively with other people, and learns how to be.
• The assessment for certification is based on performance criteria and conditions under which achievement will be assessed, all explicitly stated and made public in advance.
