Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes 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:

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments. It requests the Government to continue to report on the progress made in the planned extension of the network of employment offices to the whole national territory (Article 3 of the Convention). It also asks the Government to provide more complete information on the establishment, operation and activities of the regional advisory committees, indicating the manner in which the cooperation of representatives of the employers and workers is ensured in the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of the general policy of the employment service (Articles 4 and 5).

The Committee notes from the Government's report that no particular measures have been taken with regard to certain categories of the population specifically covered by the Convention. It wishes to recall in this connection that, under Article 7, special measures must be taken to facilitate specialization by occupations and by industries and to meet adequately the needs of particular categories of applicants for employment, such as disabled persons. Similarly, under Article 8, special arrangements for juveniles must be initiated and developed within the framework of the employment and vocational guidance services. The Committee hopes that, in its next report, the Government will supply information on the measures taken or under consideration to secure greater conformity with the provisions of these Articles and on all progress made in this matter.

Lastly, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide, in so far as it is able, the statistical information required by point IV of the report form (number of applications for employment received, number of vacancies notified and number of persons placed in employment).
