Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

In previous comments, the Committee had asked the Government to indicate what measures have been taken or envisaged to ensure the provision of cash benefits for apprentices in case of incapacity for work. The Government states in reply that these comments will be forwarded to the social security technical services for consideration and any changes will be reported in the future. The Committee notes this information and hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps in the near future to give full effect to Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention in this respect.

The Committee also notes the statistics provided in the Government's report. It would appreciate it if the future reports of the Government would contain information on the number of beneficiaries of cash sickness benefit and medical care.
