Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

Convenio sobre los trabajadores con responsabilidades familiares, 1981 (núm. 156) - Japón (Ratificación : 1995)

The Committee notes the comments made in a communication received from the Tokyo Union of Community Workers which alleges that the Government has not taken sufficient steps to revise the relevant legislation and to apply the Convention. It states that, in particular, workers employed by small enterprises, unorganized workers and part-time workers are not in a situation to exercise certain rights provided under national legislation and the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to comment on the points raised in its first report on the Convention, which is due in 1997.
