Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Night Work of Young Persons (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 6) - Algeria (Ratification: 1962)

Article 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it requested the Government to indicate the measures that have been taken or are envisaged to ensure that the prohibition upon the night work of young persons, set out in Act No. 81-03 of 21 February 1981, covers in all cases a period of at least 11 consecutive hours, in accordance with the Convention. The Committee notes from the report that the necessary measures have been taken to take into account this requirement in the context of the formulation of new legislation following the adoption of a new Constitution and laws on the autonomy of enterprises. It hopes that appropriate provisions will be adopted in the near future and requests the Government to indicate any progress that is achieved.
