How should the roles and functions of Ministries of

the new economy ?
Should Ministries of Labour give greater focus to
job creation and employment ?
What are the future roles of the ministries of labour
in the integration of labour policies with the policies
of other government departments and ministries such
as foreign affairs and foreign trade, education,
finance, tourism and immigration? How can Ministries
of Labour influence productivity for
competitiveness in the new Caribbean Economy? What
