Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Cambodia (Ratification: 1999)

Article 2(1) and (2) of the Convention. Raising the minimum age for admission to employment. Following its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the Government’s confirmation, in its report, that the minimum age for employment is 15 years, in accordance with article 177(1) of the Labour Act. The Committee therefore once again expresses the hope that the Government will envisage submitting a declaration under Article 2(2) of the Convention to notify the Director-General of the International Labour Office that it has raised the minimum age for work or employment to 15 years, in line with Cambodia’s current Labour Act.
