    The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammad Salih, elaborated on Saturday, the proposal for digital regulation of the official labor market, its application mechanisms and benefits, while stressing that it includes pension beneficiaries.
    "One of the common tasks between the Ministries of Planning, Labor and Social Affairs is to conduct the proposal for digital regulation of the official labor market, starting from the highest human energies and down to the least acceptable skills, according to the skills classification tables," Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
    He added that "The work of the market in providing job opportunities or offering jobs, is organized through employment offices linked to a central digital system that gives a number to everyone who registers in the labor market and is called (the work number) that the worker carries permanently wherever he works geographically in all governorates of the country."
    He explained that "The state undertakes to include those registered in the digital labor market by including them in a national retirement fund, and their contributions are paid for the first five years from the date of their employment or their entry into the labor market, especially those of young age and actually unemployed through the support clause in the general budget."
     
    "The proposal bears real importance in structuring the national economy, especially the organized labor market, and involves the state financially, legally and economically with the private sector in organizing and supporting the official or organized labor market and its institutional support and development," Salih added.
     
    He concluded: "The proposal provides, at the same time, an important statistic for workers, their growth and skills by registering them in the centrally fixed digital electronic system, as they are the national wealth that should be given the first priority in organizing economic life and drawing the generational map of Iraq in the path of prosperity, well-being and progress."
