Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1973)

With reference to its observation, the Committee requests the Government to provide additional information on the following points.

Expenditure of the labour and social security inspectorate. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide clarifications on the meaning of the columns and figures contained in the planning and budgetary tables which are attached to its report on the expenditure of the labour and social security inspectorate.

Article 8 of the Convention. Appointment of both men and women to the inspection staff. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the proportion of women engaged in inspection functions and provide information on any special duties which may be assigned to them, as suggested by this provision.

Child labour. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information on the activities undertaken by the labour inspection services in the context of measures to combat child labour and their results, and that relevant statistics will be included in future annual inspection reports.

Articles 20 and 21. Annual report. The Committee notes that no inspection report has been provided to the ILO since the report for the year 2002. It requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that annual reports on the work of the inspection services containing information on each of the subjects covered by points (a) to (g) of Article 21 are published regularly and communicated to the ILO within the time limits established in Article 20. The Committee reminds the Government of the possibility of having recourse of ILO technical assistance for this purpose, if necessary.
