Labour Market Intelligence Partnership Project
The Labour Market Intelligence Partnership (LMIP), was formally launched in September 2012 by the Minister of Higher Education and Training, and focuses on creating a credible labour market intelligence framework to ensure better information gathering, analysis and overall systems synergy. The DPRU is a key research partner, and has partnered with, amongst others, the Human Sciences Research Council and the University of the Witwatersrand, in a consortium reporting to and funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training.
The DPRU was involved in the sector studies included in Theme 3: such as skills biased labour demand, the New Growth Path, SETA Labour Markets, the Informal Sector and Human Capital Accumulation and Pro-poor Growth.
