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:

The Committee refers to its observation and would be grateful if the Government would supply information in its next report on the following points:

1. The Committee notes with interest the information on the follow-up of persons trained under the National Service for Vocational Advancement. Please continue to supply up-to-date information showing whether workers who have benefited from the activities of the National Service for Vocational Advancement can use the training that they receive. The Government could refer in this context to the 1975 instruments on human resources development (Convention No. 142 and Recommendation No. 150), as well as the Committee's 1991 General Survey on that subject.

2. The Government states that public works constitute replacement employment measures. Please supply information on the impact on the labour market of the public works that have been undertaken. The Government may consider it useful to refer to the provisions of the Employment Policy (Supplementary Provisions) Recommendation, 1984 (No. 169), which is attached to the report form for this Convention, with regard to public investment programmes and special public works programmes.

3. The Government considers that the unemployment rate is in the order of 4 per cent, but that one of the principal problems in the country is underemployment. Please continue to supply information on the situation, level and trends of employment, unemployment and underemployment, and in particular the extent to which urban and rural workers are affected, as well as particular categories of workers such as women, disabled workers, older workers, the long-term unemployed, migrant workers and workers affected by restructuring measures.

4. Please supply the available information on the activities that have been undertaken and the impact of measures to promote the employment of young persons adopted by the Youth Promotion Board. In particular, please indicate any action taken as a result of project PAR/85/005, which was carried out by the ILO, on "the participation of young persons in development".

5. Please continue to supply information on the activities undertaken by the Paraguayan Cooperation and Development Foundation in relation to employment, and in particular to support micro-enterprises.
