This document was authored by The Alliance of Sector Councils (TASC) and published by the International Network of Sector Skills Organizations (INSSO).

It brings together labour market intelligence (LMI) from eight countries, with emphasis on how these countries address specific employment challenges and country-level work issues. The eight countries are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Netherlands, Pakistan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

The authors draw attention to differences in terms of labour market trends and design of employment policies within each region, and present best practice initiatives led by sector skills organizations.

They note that while LMI practices differ, they all offer the analytical insights that can be used across the skills, qualifications, and employment system to support the development of policies and programs that meet the needs of individuals, employers, and the wider economy.
