Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Djibouti (Ratification: 2005)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report, due since 2017, has not been received. In light of its urgent appeal to the Government in 2020, the Committee has proceeded with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal.

Article 9(3) of the Convention. Employers’ registers. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that it was planning to submit to the National Council for Labour, Employment and Social Security (CONTESS) a draft order prescribing the contents of employers’ registers pursuant to section 209 of the Labour Code. The Committee requested the Government to provide information on the progress made with the adoption of the order, and to ensure that the registers to be kept by employers contain at least the names and ages or dates of birth, duly certified wherever possible, of persons whom they employ, or who work for them, and who are under 18 years of age. Noting the absence of information on this subject, the Committee reiterates its request to the Government to provide information on the progress made with the adoption of the order, and to ensure that the registers to be kept by employers contain at least the names and ages or dates of birth, duly certified wherever possible, of persons whom they employ, or who work for them, and who are under 18 years of age.
