Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

Convention (n° 89) sur le travail de nuit (femmes) (révisée), 1948 - Koweït (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

Article 1, paragraph 1 of the Convention. In the comments it has been making for many years, the Committee has pointed out the need to extend the application of the Convention to certain categories of workers who are excluded from the Labour Law (private sector) of 1994 (i.e. workers in enterprises operating without recourse to power and employing less than five people, and casual and temporary workers engaged for less than six months). It noted that the Bill to amend Law No. 38 of 1964 which is currently in force, is intended to include the categories of workers excluded from the above Law. The Committee notes the Government's statement that it will provide a copy of the Labour Code for the private sector as soon as it has been adopted officially. It hopes that the necessary amendments will be made to the Labour Code (private sector) to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.
