DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, that a plan for a fully operational employment service prepared by the Labour Commissioner has not yet been implemented and that the work of the Labour Exchange is performed by a clerical officer in the Labour Department as part of such officer's duties. The Government indicates that employers and workers have been advised to use the Labour Exchange.

The Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to take necessary measures in the nearest future to make the employment service fully operational. It asks the Government to provide, in its next report, information on any progress achieved in this connection, as well as full information on the organization and functioning of the employment service, as required by the report form. Please also supply information on the following points:

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Please describe the arrangements made through advisory committees for the cooperation of employer and worker representatives in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of the employment service policy.

Articles 7(b) and 8. Please give particulars concerning the arrangements made, within the framework of the employment services, to meet adequately the needs of particular categories of applicants for employment, such as disabled persons and juveniles.

Article 10. Please describe the arrangements made nationally and locally in cooperation with employers' and workers' organizations to encourage full voluntary use of employment service facilities.

Point IV of the report form. Please furnish statistical information requested as soon as it is available.
