The Labour Market Advisory Council is an independent group of industry leaders and labour market experts appointed by Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty T.D., having been originally established as the Labour Market Council in 2013.
The role of the Advisory Council is to provide advice to the Minister and the Government on the efficient operation of the labour market, with a key focus on increasing participation rates, minimising unemployment levels and reducing average unemployment durations.
Moreover, the Advisory Council will continue the progress made to date on the Government’s Pathways to Work strategy and will inform future Pathways to Work strategies and wider labour market and employment policy.
All members of the council are familiar with and operate under the auspices of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015
