Convenio sobre la edad mínima, 1973 (núm. 138) - Türkiye (Ratificación : 1998)

Article 8 of the Convention. Artistic performances. Regarding the employment of children below the minimum age in artistic performances, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that in 2012, drafts were developed for the amendment of the Labour Law Act, with the contribution of the Trade Union of Performers, the Radio and Television Supreme Counsel, and other relevant institutions and organizations, but that no progress has yet been recorded. Recalling that pursuant to Article 8(1) of the Convention, the competent authority may, by permits granted in individual cases, allow exceptions to the prohibition of employment under the general minimum age for such purposes as participation in artistic performances, the Committee expresses the firm hope that the forthcoming amendments will be in conformity with the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on developments in this regard, in its next report.
