Article 3(2) of the Convention. Determination of hazardous work. With regard to the adoption of the list of hazardous types of work, the Committee requests the Government to refer to its detailed comments under the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182).

Article 7(1) and (3). Light work and determination of light work activities. Further to its previous comments, which had noted the Government’s commitment to determining the number of hours and the types of activities that constitute light work, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that section 93(2) of the Employment Relations Promulgation No. 36 of 2007 raises the age for children who may perform light work from 13 to 14 years. However, the Committee notes that the draft provision, which was included in the Government’s report, does not contain a list determining the types of light work, or the number of hours during which, and conditions in which, such work may be undertaken. The Committee therefore strongly requests the Government to take the opportunity of the amendment process to adopt the list determining types of light work activities for persons between the ages of 14 to 16 years, in addition to the number of hours during which and the conditions in which such employment may be undertaken.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
