Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC)
In December 2003, the Department of Labour agreed to lead the domestic co-ordination of the Labour and Social Protection Network (LSPN) of the Human Resources Development Working Group. The Department has identified the LSPN as a forum for sharing best practice on labour issues with other APEC economies.
The LSPN fosters human capacity building, social integration, and strong and flexible labour markets through the development of useful labor market information and policy, improved workplace conditions and practices, and strong social safety nets.
