Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Unemployment Convention, 1919 (No. 2) - Morocco (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes the detailed information on trends in unemployment and on employment promotion programmes. In reply to the previous comments, the Government indicates that the Bill on Unemployment Benefit was adopted by the Government Council on 17 April 2014. The Bill will be examined by the Council of Ministers and forwarded to the legislative authorities. The adoption of the text will mean that effect can be given to the provisions of the Labour Code requiring the payment of unemployment benefit and the Government’s commitments in the framework of social dialogue (the agreement of 26 April 2011). The Committee requests the Government to continue referring to the comments that it makes on the application of Convention No. 122 and hopes that it will continue to provide statistics in its next report, as well as detailed indications concerning trends in unemployment and the measures taken to combat it (Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention). The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to announce in its next report the establishment of unemployment benefit and to provide the information required by the report form on this subject (Article 3).
