Articles 1 to 5 of the Convention. Education and training policies and programmes. The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 116 of 20 December 2013, issuing the Labour Code; Decree No. 326 of 12 June 2014, issuing regulations under the Labour Code; and Legislative Decree No. 350 of 25 October 2017 on vocational training. The objective of the Legislative Decree is the improvement of the operation of sectoral schools and training centres with a view to responding to the current needs of the Cuban economic model and improving the performance of workers in their functions. The Committee notes that the legislation referred to above contains provisions which contribute to giving effect to the provisions of the Convention. By way of illustration, section 23 of the Legislative Decree on vocational training provides that training plans shall be formulated in cooperation between the various bodies, including enterprises, based on the objectives, scope, aims and results that it is proposed to achieve during a specific period, with a view to improving and updating the skills of the labour force. Finally, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that measures remain in force to coordinate education and training policies with employment, and that training for the labour force is planned as a function of the needs of the economy, with a view to facilitating access to employment. The Committee refers the Government to its 2017 comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and particularly those in which it requests the Government to provide fuller information on the coordination of education and vocational training policies with employment policies, and specifically on how the supply of training is coordinated with the demand for knowledge and skills and the changing labour market situation. In particular, the Committee requests information on the impact of this coordination, including statistical data, disaggregated by sex and economic sector.

Article 1(5). Coverage of specific categories of workers. The Committee refers to its 2016 comments on the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), and requests the Government to provide detailed information on the specific measures adopted to promote equality of opportunity and treatment for men and women in relation to access to vocational guidance and training. The Committee also requests the Government to provide statistical information, disaggregated by sex, on the participation of men and women in vocational education and training at all levels. It also requests the Government to provide information on the vocational guidance and training policies or programmes adopted or envisaged with a view to promoting lasting employment for persons with disabilities, as well as information on the number of participants in these programmes.
