Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 90-11 of 21 April 1990 concerning working conditions.

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to previous comments concerning the scope of the Convention, which covers all types of employment or work including work done on their own account by those concerned, the Committee asks the Government to state how compliance with the minimum age in non-wage-earning agricultural work is ensured.

Article 8. The Committee notes that, under section 4 of the aforementioned Act No. 90-11, the specific rules governing labour relations in the case of artists and actors in particular are to be laid down in particular provisions adopted by regulation. The Committee hopes that these particular provisions will give effect to the Convention which allows, in individual cases, the participation of children under 16 years of age in such activities as artistic performances under certain conditions (limitation of the duration in hours and fixing of the conditions of the employment) and after consultation with the organisations of employers and workers.

Article 9, paragraph 3. The Committee notes that, under section 156 of the aforementioned Act No. 90-11, the special books and registers and the content thereof are determined by regulations for every employer. The Committee hopes that the regulations adopted pursuant to section 156 of Act No. 90-11 will provide that such books and registers shall state the name and age or date of birth of persons under 18 years of age employed or working in the undertaking.
