Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1987, publiée 74ème session CIT (1987)

See under Convention No. 24, as follows:

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report, and the information contained in the report of the activities of the Social Insurance Institute (ISS) for 1982-86, and contained in the document "Social Security in Colombia" published by the National Health Institute, which gives a wide-ranging and systematic analysis of the population covered by social security in general and by the ISS in particular. The Committee notes with interest that, according to the Government's indications, both social security coverage for categories of the workforce according to branches of economic activity and geographical coverage have been greatly increased and that the number of municipalities benefiting from coverage is continually rising. The Committee hopes that progress will continue to be made in this direction and requests the Government to supply information in its next report concerning the steps taken in this respect.
