Article 3(1) of the Convention, in conjunction with Article 2(1). Sickness insurance coverage for apprentices. In its previous comments the Committee noted that apprentices receiving monthly pay which is equal to, or greater than, half of the guaranteed national minimum wage form part of the list of workers deemed equivalent to wage workers in terms of social security and are thus entitled to all social security benefits (Decree No. 85-33 of 9 February 1985 establishing the list of workers deemed equivalent to wage workers for social security purposes, as amended by Executive Decree No. 92-274 of 6 July 1992). However, those receiving monthly pay which is less than half of the guaranteed minimum wage are not entitled to cash payments guaranteed by the social security system in the event of incapacity for work. However, in its last report received in March 2013, the Government states that the national social security legislation provides that any persons working or earning wages, in whatever capacity or location, for one or more employers, regardless of the amount or nature of their remuneration or the form, type or validity of their contract or employment relationship, are affiliated to the social security scheme. The report also indicates that Act No. 11-08 of 5 June 2011 amending and supplementing Act No. 83-11 of 2 July 1983 concerning social insurance has opened the way to the extension of social security coverage to new categories of persons covered by social insurance which will be determined by regulation. In view of the foregoing, the Committee requests the Government to indicate to what extent the current legislation extends social security benefits to apprentices, regardless of their level of remuneration, in accordance with the Convention.
