The manual is produced in response to the labor market crisis faced by all countries of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors propose a model of public employment services (PES) that can respond to a rapidly changing labor market, in particular the emergence of new types of employment, such as platform and telecommuting. The manual is based on the notion that the PES is key to providing specialized support to mitigate the effects of unemployment in times of economic downturn, and to provide targeted services to jobseekers and businesses in times of economic recovery. A list of key terms in the field of employment promotion is provided. The manual can be used by statistical services of CIS countries in cooperation with employment services.
