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

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Ethiopia (Ratification: 1963)

The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments.

It notes, in particular, the information concerning the duties and responsibilities of the Manpower and Employment Advisory Committee. It would be glad if in its next report the Government would supply information on the practical activities of this Committee in the development of employment service policy after consultation with representatives of employers and workers (Article 5 of the Convention).

The Committee notes from the Government's report that the draft Labour Code has not yet been promulgated. It noted in its previous comments that no regulations had been adopted to supplement the general principles laid down by Proclamation No. 64/75 (Part II). It cannot but reiterate its hope that regulations concerning the employment service will be adopted as soon as possible. It also hopes that the new Labour Code will be promulgated in the near future and that it will contain provisions which will implement, together with the anticipated regulations, Articles 6, 7 and 8. The Committee requests the Government to report any progress made in this connection.
