1. The Committee notes the second and third reports of the Government, which contain information in reply to its previous direct request. It also notes the comments of the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (JTUC-RENGO) and the Government's reply.

2. The Committee notes that, according to the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (JTUC-RENGO), vocational training opportunities for women, and particularly for women working part-time, are very insufficient. The Committee also notes that equality of treatment between men and women workers in respect of vocational training within the enterprise is one of the points covered by the voluntary system for checking the position of women workers. Please supply information on the progress achieved in this respect.

3. The Committee also notes the provisions of Law No. 71 of 1990 respecting further training of workers, and would be grateful if the Government would supply information in its next report on the measures that have been taken under this new Law.

4. More generally, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply in future reports detailed information on developments in the field of the policies and programmes covered by the Convention. Please refer in particular to the application of Article 1, paragraph 5, and Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention and, more specifically, to the measures taken to remedy shortages of labour and imbalances between economic sectors, which were reported by the Government in its report of 1990 on the application of Convention No. 122.
