Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142) - Netherlands (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the comments of the Netherlands Trade Union Federation (FNV) and the Netherlands Council of Employers' Federations (RCO). It notes the entry into force of the Youth Work Guarantee Act and would be grateful if in its next report the Government would supply information on the number of young persons receiving training under the provisions of this Act, the type of training and the results obtained in terms of the entry of the persons concerned into durable employment.

In its observation of 1992 on the application of Convention No. 122 the Committee noted that the Government anticipated a drop in the demand for unskilled labour in the period 1991-95. It asks the Government to provide further information on the measures taken or contemplated as a consequence in the area of training. More generally, the Committee hopes that in its future reports the Government will continue to provide detailed information, such as that requested under Part VI of the report form, on the practical application of the Convention.
