Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 (No. 156) - Croatia (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. National policy. The Committee notes that the National Policy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2006–10) adopted by the Croatian Parliament on 13 October 2006 refers to Croatia’s obligations under the Convention, among other relevant United Nations and ILO instruments. The Committee notes with interest that the Policy sets out a number of specific measures promoting the sharing of family responsibilities between men and women and increasing the availability of childcare services as a means of achieving effective equality of opportunity and treatment between men and women workers. The Committee requests the Government to include in its next report information on the implementation of the National Policy on the Promotion of Gender Equality, as it relates to the application of the Convention.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
