The Economic and Social Council (Spanish: Consejo Económico y Social, CES) of the Dominican Republic is an advisory entity permanently ascribed to the Executive Branch of the Government of the Dominican Republic. It is responsible for advising the government on economic, social, and labor matters with a goal to construct and strengthen social peace.[1][2] [3]
The CES coordinates its functions and administrative tasks with the Ministry of Economy, Planning, and Development and is connected to the Ministry of Labor.[1][2][3]
The CES is currently composed of a President, a Secretary General, and 41 counsellors representing various business, social, and labor sectors. Although the law requires that there should be an equal number of counsellors (fifteen) from each sector, the CES has twenty five counsellors representing business entities (61%), seven counsellors representing labor and union interests (17%), and nine counsellors representing social groups (22%), including religious entities and private universities.[3]
The counsellors are appointed by their own sectors every four years through an election process with participation from each sector. The President and Secretary General are appointed by the Executive Branch of the Dominican government.[3]
