Article 7(3) of the Convention. Determination of light work. The Committee previously noted that section 3(4) of the Labour Relations Regulations establishes that children over 13 years of age may perform light work where such work is an integral part of a course of education or training and does not prejudice their education, health and safety. The Committee noted the Government’s statement that it was envisaged to include in the labour law reform process a determination of the types of light work that may be performed by children. The Government indicated that the revision of Statutory Instrument 155 of 1999 giving the schedule of light work would be done after the revision of the principal Act.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that phase II of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Project, in the framework of which the labour law reform process is envisaged, has not yet begun and that efforts to engage donors and raise funds are under way. The Committee therefore urges the Government to take the necessary measures, within the reform process, to ensure the adoption of a list determining the types of light work that may be performed by children from the age of 13 years.
