Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Medical Examination of Young Persons (Non-Industrial Occupations) Convention, 1946 (No. 78) - Peru (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its latest report.

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee refers to its comments under Convention No. 77.

Article 7, paragraph 2. The Committee notes that none of the sections of the new Code on Children and Young Persons approved in 2000 contains a reply to the questions raised in its 1995 direct request concerning the measures of identification to be adopted for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment of young people engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or any other occupation carried out in the streets or in places to which the public have access.

The Committee again asks the Government to indicate the provisions laying down the measures of identification to supervise application of the system of medical examination for young people pursuant to this Article, thus guaranteeing application of the Convention.
