Article 2(2) and (5) of the Convention. Raising the minimum age for admission to employment or work. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s declaration to the Director-General officially raising the minimum age for admission to employment or work from 15 to 16 years. The Committee notes with satisfaction that, under Act No. 26.390 on the prohibition of child labour and the protection of adolescent workers, the national minimum age has been raised to 16 years. Moreover, the Committee notes that the 16 year minimum age has also been incorporated into Act No. 26.727 on the regimen of agricultural work as well as Act No. 26.844 on the regimen of special contracts for workers in special cases, such as domestic work.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
