Unemployment Provision Convention, 1934 (No. 44) - French Polynesia

1. Article 1 of the Convention (Involuntary unemployment). With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 88-845 of 17 July 1986, concerning the general principles of labour law and the organisation and operation of labour inspection and labour tribunals. It also notes that section 126 of this Act requires that regulations determining the modalities for application of the right to assistance to the involuntarily unemployed (section 48), should have been issued before 19 June 1987. The Committee hopes that these regulations have now been issued.

2. Article 3 (Partial unemployment). The Committee hopes that these regulations also give effect to this provision of the Convention (which provides that, in cases of partial unemployment, benefit or an allowance shall be payable to unemployed persons whose employment has been reduced in a way to be determined by national laws or regulations). It requests the Government to supply the list of the regulations with its next report.
