Though the proposal did not figure in BJP's election manifesto or President Pranab Mukherjee's recent speech in Parliament, the Centre seems to be setting to work to formulate the NEP.
The UPA government had prepared a draft but did not announce a national employment policy. An inter-ministerial group had studied the draft and given its recommendations.
However, "keeping in view the dimension of the challenges involved", the ministry wants wider consultations. As a result, it has sought inputs by June 30.
The NEP will have to synergise the country's advantage of a young population with inherent challenges in the work force, for instance, to reap dividends globally.
According to government statistics, while the economy grew around 8% annually in the last decade, growth in jobs was below 1%.
"The proportion of persons in the labour force declined from 43% in 2004-05 to 39.5% in 2011-12 with a sharp drop in female participation rate from 29% to 22.5%," as per statistics.
Besides, only 10% of the labour force has some technical skill and about a quarter of them had formal technical education. The thrust will be to expand vocational training, upgrade and enrich skill base and productivity levels of the growing non-farm employment sectors like construction, said a ministry official. The effort will also be transform informal skills into formal skills.
According to its website, the labour ministry's role in the proposed NEP "is in areas like vocational training, national career service, social security and promotion of industrial harmony through labour regulations".
The National Career Service Portal is likely to be up by December. The Centre proposes to encourage "flexi MoUs" to cater to market specific skill needs of industry. Employment exchanges would be reoriented for career counselling, vocational guidance and employment services to youth.
Through an online portal, the Centre also proposes to ensure single window compliance of labour laws, including online registration by employers, returns, inspections and redressal of grievances.
