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

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - China - Macau Special Administrative Region (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention received in September 2005. It notes that the Directorate of Services of Labour has within its responsibilities to maintain contact with workers, employers and their respective representative associations. It further notes that the Standing Social Consultation Council acts as an advisory body and appears also to issue opinions on social-labour policy, particularly in regards to wages, job regime, job creation, social security and its social implications. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information on how in practice representatives of employers and workers provide their views in the operation of the employment services and in the development of employment service policies including information on the measures taken to encourage full use of employment service facilities by employers and workers on a voluntary basis (Articles 4, 5 and 10 of the Convention).
