The Committee notes the Government's report. It notes, furthermore, that at its 267th Session (November 1996), the Governing Body approved the report of the Committee which it had instructed to examine the claims presented under article 24 of the ILO Constitution by the Latin American Central of Workers (CLAT) and the Single Confederation of Workers of Peru (CUT), alleging non-observance by Peru of Conventions Nos. 11, 87, 98, 100, 111 and 122. The Governing Body requested the Government to supply in its next report submitted under article 22 of the Constitution on the application of Convention No. 122 full information on:

(i) any available surveys on the results obtained by the youth training agreements (sections 8 to 16 of the Promotion of Employment Act), in which reference is made to the long-term integration of those concerned, and to the possible repercussions of these programmes on the employment of other age categories in the active population;

(ii) the measures taken or foreseen to ensure that the application of the provisions of the Promotion of Employment Act with respect to employment contracts subject to special conditions (sections 87-117), the promotion of self-employment (sections 137-144) and special enterprises (sections 165-174) contribute effectively to the creation of new jobs;

(iii) the effect given to the provisions of Article 3 of the Convention.

The Committee asks the Government to supply the information requested in order to allow it to resume examination of the application of the Convention at its next session.
