The bills aim to provide legislative support for the local workforce.<br \/>\nSpeaking on the floor of the house, Rehman said, \u201cWe have the 10th largest labour force with nearly 1.5 million people entering it annually yet there seems to be no concrete plan in place for them.<br \/>\nWith the projected surge of FDI in Pakistan, it is mandatory to enact these laws. The government should have done this much sooner\u201d.<br \/>\n\u201cThe first bill is an amendment to the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act 1976 which aims to set a quota seeking to guarantee that foreign investors hire at least 60% of local labour for their projects from the particular province of its operations.<br \/>\nThis is not uncommon practice as many countries have similar laws such as Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Iraq and Indonesia to name a few.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe second bill is an amendment to the Board of Investment Ordinance 2001 which calls for mapping labour expertise, capacity, training and experience in one database categorized by provinces. There is no such data in Pakistan.<br \/>\nThis data, will be available for employers, to aid with matching skilled workers with job openings available or creating employment opportunities,\u201d Rehman explained.<br \/>\nThe Vice-President of PPP concluded, \u201cThe PPP has taken historical initiatives to empower Pakistan\u2019s labour force through legislation. In 1972, it was Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who introduced Pakistan\u2019s first labour policy. Pakistan must keep up if we are to remain competitive.<br \/>\nThese amendments are a continuation of the party\u2019s commitment, in line with Pakistan\u2019s economic growth and evolution\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DNA ISLAMABAD Former Senate Opposition Leader and PPP Parliamentary Leader Senator Sherry Rehman, submitted two labour related bills in the Senate to amend the Board of Investment Ordinance 2001 and the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act 1976.
