Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has instructed the Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko to develop and submit to the government a draft law on the establishment of the National Employment Agency.

"Mr Rozenko, the bill on the establishment of the National Employment Agency should be submitted at a government meeting," Yatseniuk told Rozenko at a meeting of the Social Policy Ministry.

Yatseniuk hopes that the Cabinet will submit the bill to the Verkhovna Rada and the document will be adopted at an ordinary or extraordinary session of the parliament.

According to Rozenko, the existing has State Employment Service failed to cope with the problems on the labor market. As a result, the National Employment Agency needs to be created, which could start work on January 1, 2016.

Yatseniuk said the new National Employment Agency must effectively settle problems related to employment, plan for workforce needs ten years ahead, and make better use of the resources allocated for this purpose.
