Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No. 159) - Norway (Ratification: 1984)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2004 direct request, which read as follows:

The Government indicated the lack of available statistics shedding light on supervisory practice in relation to the employment of persons with disabilities, as the statistics on the relevant areas often also include persons without disabilities. The figures would not therefore provide a representative picture of the scope of supervision in the fields covered by the Convention. The Committee asked the Government to continue providing information on the measures taken in the context of the national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of persons with disabilities (Articles 3 and 7 of the Convention) and to provide any relevant information on the application of the Convention in practice, in accordance with Part V of the report form.
