Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Angola (RATIFICATION: 1976)

The Committee notes that the report received in May 2005 does not contain any replies to its 1999 direct request. It requests the Government to submit a detailed report on the application of the Convention, including answers to the main questions already raised, as well as the statistical information called for in Part IV of the report form.

Article 3 of the Convention. Please describe the network in detail indicating, in particular, whether local employment agencies are sufficient in number to serve each geographical area of the country and are conveniently located for employers and workers. Please also state what provision is made for review of the network and revision, where necessary, to meet the changing requirements of the economy and the working population.

Articles 4 and 5. Please indicate whether tripartite consultative committees have been established and what arrangements have been made through these committees for the cooperation of employer and worker representatives in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of employment service policy. Please also state whether representatives of employers and workers on these committees are appointed in equal numbers and whether it has been considered necessary to establish regional and local advisory committees.

Article 9, paragraph 4. Please provide details of arrangements for training or retraining and training detachments for employment service staff.

[The Government is requested to reply in detail to the present comments in 2006.]
