Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Unemployment Convention, 1919 (No. 2) - Morocco (Ratification: 1960)

With reference to its general observation of 1991, the Committee has noted the observations made in March 1991 by the Democratic Confederation of Labour and the General Union of Moroccan Workers to the effect that the National Labour Council and the regional committees provided for by the Decree of 14 August 1967 in order to give advice on matters concerning the carrying on of public employment agencies, have not been established in practice. The above organisations also state that the public employment agencies participate in only 5 per cent of labour market placement activities. The Committee has also noted that these observations were transmitted to the Government in April 1991 for such comments as might be judged appropriate. It observes that no such comments have been received. The Committee recalls in this connection that Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention provides for the appointment of committees which shall include representatives of employers and workers to advise on matters concerning the carrying on of free public employment agencies. It would be grateful if, in its next report, the Government would indicate how the committees referred to in this Article are constituted and appointed in practice and what method is adopted for the choice of the employers' and workers' representatives. Please also give a general account of the working of the system of free public employment agencies, indicating in particular, in accordance with the report form, the number of employment agencies set up, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment, by such agencies.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
