Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2006, Publicación: 96ª reunión CIT (2007)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Articles 1(1) and 7(2)(a) of the Convention. The Committee notes that the provisions in national legislation giving effect to the Convention apply to all children and young persons irrespective of the type of work in which they are engaged. In view of the changes which have occurred in the national economy during its transition to a market economy and the emergence of new forms of activities for workers, including young workers, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the Convention applies to all children and young persons employed for wages, or working directly or indirectly for gain, in non-industrial occupations, and particularly to those who are engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or any other occupations carried on in the streets or in places to which the public have access (as to the latter, Article 7(2)(a) also provides that national laws or regulations should determine the measures of identification to be adopted for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination).

2. The Committee invites the Government to refer to the comments made under Convention No. 77.
