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

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no new information in reply to its earlier comments. A Project document on the reorganization of the Employment Services, to which the Government refers in its report, has not been received by the ILO. The Committee therefore asks the Government to supply a copy of the above-mentioned Project document with its next report. It hopes that the Government will supply any other information available concerning the reorganization of the Employment Service to which the Government has been referring for a number of years and which, according to the report of 1989, has reached the stage of a final decision.

The Committee trusts that the Government will provide a detailed report on the application of the Convention in accordance with the report form and, in particular, on the new arrangements made to give effect to Articles 4 (advisory committees), 6 (employment service's functions), 7 (measures to facilitate specialization by occupations and by industries and to meet the needs of particular categories of applicants) and 8 (special arrangements for juveniles) of the Convention. Please also supply statistical information concerning the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices, as required by point IV of the report form.
