Re: [Tagging] Tagging a government job centre
In Portugal, the Government's employment centre gets you a job and gives you professional formation. It has a list of all the companies seeking for workers and distribute them based a very specific system. The money that comes from the Government to people without job is given via Social Security, it's not handed by the employment centre. The function of the employment centre is only to get people a job and give them professional formation if needed. Given these arguments, I'm getting more inclined to use office=government + government=employment_centre Às 18:23 de 11/10/2020, Graeme Fitzpatrick escreveu: We have a Govt Dept that controls everything, decides whether you will be paid Unemployment Benefits (under a number of different names), but does nothing about you actually getting a job.

I'd say it is, not just because it acts to enforce and not just because without the monies it collects the government could not operate. If employing civil servants to take money from people is government then so is employing civil servants to give money to the unemployed. > it operates very differently from an employment agency (the difference in > the name is not incidental) > The day I can claim unemployment benefits from employment agencies is the day I look very carefully at which of them is going to give me the most money before I choose to sign up with one. > and I think that should be stated or even differentiated in the wiki. > I think we got deflected by considering Jobcentres (or whatever they're called elsewhere) to be employment agencies.

Re: [Tagging] Tagging a government job centre
Portugal has a very similar social structure from that of England's , so I relate to what you wrote. Although an employment centre is not an office that governs, like Tom Pfeifer wrote, (nevertheless we could argue they govern/regulate the unemployed and the work market) it operates very differently from an employment agency (the difference in the name is not incidental) and I think that should be stated or even differentiated in the wiki.

I've seen that on the taginfo website, but I don't think there's need for another amenity, with such good scheme already in hand.
