Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

The Committee notes with regret that for the fifth year in succession 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 notes the additional information supplied by the Government in its report for the period ending June 1992 in reply to its previous request. It notes with interest the growth in the active population and in employment, and the maintenance of the unemployment rate at the very low level of 0.6 per cent in 1991 and 1992, indicating a situation of almost full employment, with shortages of labour in some sectors.

The Committee notes that the Tripartite Employment Committee, which was established to deal with the rapid changes in supply and demand on the labour market, held several meetings during the period under review. It requests the Government to continue supplying information on these meetings, their objectives, the opinions expressed and the manner in which they are taken into account. Furthermore, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the implementation of the development strategy, particularly within the framework of the implementation of the National Development Plan for 1991-95, with an indication of the manner in which it contributes to the promotion of full employment.
