About National Employment Policy
In line with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention No. 122, the National Employment Policy 2024-2028 (NEP) for Mauritius was formulated by the University of Mauritius after consultation with all stakeholders and under the guidance of ILO. The objective was to achieve decent, productive and freely chosen employment for all people of the Republic of Mauritius to improve their livelihoods and dignity.
