Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Invalidity, Old-Age and Survivors' Benefits Convention, 1967 (No. 128) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1973)

Article 29 of the Convention (review of cash benefits currently payable). With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information concerning the adoption of Act No. 15900 of 17 October 1987, under which the pensions provided by the Bank for Social Welfare are revised annually. It also notes that the above Act is implemented by successive decrees which establish the percentage increase of the benefits. However, the Committee notes that the report does not contain information on the decrees adopted since 1989. In view of the fact that without such information the Committee is not in a position to assess the real impact of increases of pension benefits in relation to the general level of earnings or the cost of living index, it requests the Government to supply in each of its future reports the text of these decrees and the statistical data required in this respect under Article 29 of the report form approved by the Governing Body.
