The Asian Regional Team for Employment Promotion (ARTEP) is responsible for implementing the ILO's World Employment Programme in the Asian region. Its main objectives are to identify the factors which prevent a substantial expansion of employment opportunities in countries of the region, to identify measures which can overcome these factors and to assist governments in the implementation of such measures. The ARTEP is based in New Delhi, India. This volume is a synthesis of the discussion held at the Fourth Meeting of Asian Employment Planners organised by the ARTEP in New Delhi on 17-19 December, 1991.
