Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Peru (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee refers to its previous comments, and requests the Government to provide additional information on the following points in its next report.

1. The Committee refers to points 2 and 6 of the 1988 direct request and notes that the Government planned to submit an additional report containing information on the various employment programmes implemented by the National Planning Institute (People's Co-operation) and the regional development corporations. The Committee refers to its observation, and trusts that detailed information will be provided on the generation of productive and lasting employment achieved by the various programmes mentioned by the Government in its report. Please supply, in so far as they are available, copies or extracts of reports, studies and inquiries, statistical data, etc. concerning the achievements of such programmes in meeting the income and employment needs of the urban informal sector and the areas most affected by unemployment and underemployment (Part VI of the report form).

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would include particulars of the way in which effective co-ordination is secured between the various government, national and regional services involved in the different official employment programmes. Please indicate also whether procedures have been set up for consultations with the beneficiaries of the programme (Article 3 of the Convention).

2. The Committee notes from the indications in the Government's report that there are three fundamental aspects involved in the matching of effective training of the labour force and dynamic production: redefining the country's technological options, human resource planning and training, and the restructuring of the education system. Please continue to refer to these three factors, and in particular to the measures adopted to co-ordinate education and vocational training policies with employment prospects and opportunities (see the report form under Article 1).

3. Please describe the procedures adopted to ensure that the effects on employment of measures taken to promote economic objectives receive due consideration, and that the principal measures of employment policy are decided on and kept under periodical review within the framework of a co-ordinated economic and social policy (Article 2).

4. Please continue to provide information on projects designed to meet the employment needs of particular categories of workers, particularly women, stating as far as possible the number of enterprises created and of persons who have benefited from the programmes for the promotion of women in economic activity.

5. Please provide information on the results achieved by the Project for Social Development and Employment in Urban and Rural Communities (PRODESE) and by the Institute for the Development of the Informal Sector (IDESI) in promoting productive employment in the informal sector. The Government may wish to consult the provisions concerning the informal sector contained in Part V of Recommendation No. 169.
