National policy for the abolition of child labour

With reference to its general observation of 1995, the Committee notes the role played by the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training with a view to matching training and employment and improving skills, and by the Ministry of Social Affairs to ensure the protection and well-being of children and young persons. It requests the Government to indicate whether coordination and consultation mechanisms have been established or are envisaged in the application of a national policy designed to ensure the effective abolition of child labour, within the meaning of Article 1 of the Convention and, if so, to indicate its composition and functions.

Recalling that Article 2, paragraph 3, provides that the minimum age for admission to employment or work shall not be less than the age of completion of compulsory schooling, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures which have been taken or are envisaged for the benefit of street children and children who are employed as domestic servants.

A request on certain other matters is being addressed directly to the Government.
