Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

Convenio sobre la política del empleo, 1964 (núm. 122) - Libia (Ratificación : 1971)

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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government for the period ending June 1988. It notes that a new five-year plan has not been established. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report how "an active policy designed to promote full, productive and freely chosen employment" has been declared and if it would specify the texts by which it was defined (see the questions in the report form for Article 1 of the Convention).

2. In reply to its previous comments, the Government refers to the recommendations put forward by the people's congresses on raising production capacity, and particularly measures to abolish certain jobs and to redeploy administrative staff into productive sectors, and to promote vocational training in the public sector. Please supply a copy of Law No. 9 of 1986 respecting the redeployment of administrative staff. Please continue to supply information on the level of success of this and of the initiatives that have been taken within the context of the overall plan for the training of public administration staff. Furthermore the Committee requests the Government to supply the information that has been requested on other occasions as to the impact of the measures that have been taken under Law No. 15 of 1981 on productivity levels.

3. The Committee notes with interest the statistical data supplied by the Government on the number of students that are directed towards vocational secondary teaching, general secondary teaching and the staff of higher educational institutes. It also notes the information concerning the rise in the participation rate of women and the measures that have been taken in favour of the disabled. It requests the Government to continue to include in its reports information on the measures that have been taken to co-ordinate education and training policies with prospective employment opportunities and the measures intended to meet the needs of particular categories of workers such as women, young people, migrant workers and disabled workers.

4. The Committee refers to points 5 and 6 of its previous request concerning the migrations of the labour force and consultation procedures. It would be grateful if the Government would supply the information that it considers appropriate in this connection.

5. Finally, the Government describes some difficulties that it is encountering in implementing a policy to increase production capacity. The Committee hopes that the Government's next report will indicate the extent to which these difficulties have been overcome. In this connection, the Committee recalls the importance of gathering and analysing statistical and other data concerning the labour market situation and trends as a basis for the decisions that are to be taken, in consultation with the interested parties, as regards employment policy. It would be grateful if the Government would supply, in this connection, the information required by the report form under Articles 2 and 3 and in Part VI of the report form.
