This is the unequivocal finding made by the International Labour Office (ILO) and echoed in the report &#8220;The Silent Metamorphosis,&#8221; co-authored by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Group Croissance, and CEDEL Haiti, with financial support from the Canadian government. According to this document, no one is clearly mandated within the Haitian state apparatus to oversee job creation and the development of related policies. A gap that Xavier Michon, UNDP representative in Haiti, considers a handicap for the country.To this institutional void is added the inadequacy of professional training policy, awaiting overhaul by the National Institute of Professional Training (INFP). In a country where the informal economy accounts for more than 80 percent of economic activities, according to the report, the existing arrangements do not meet the realities of the labor market. The absence of functional tripartite mechanisms bringing together the state, employers, and job seekers, as well as the lack of a national labor market information system, further exacerbates this situation.Speaking on the airwaves of Radio Magik 9 on May 19, 2026, Xavier Michon wanted to put the debate back on track. &#8220;Haiti does not suffer from a deficit of human potential when we talk about this youth. The country mainly suffers from the accumulated cost of not having recognized it in time,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haiti does not have any coherent national strategy regarding employment.
