Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No. 159) - Japan (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending May 1999. It also notes the communication from the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (RENGO) concerning the insufficient numbers of persons with disabilities who actually benefit from vocational rehabilitation. The allegations also concern the need to strengthen the legislative measures adopted in this respect. The Committee notes a brief communication from the Government indicating that a response will soon be sent in reply to the comments of the Confederation. The Committee will therefore defer its examination of the report to its next session.
