The Committee notes the Government's report which contains detailed information on the activities carried out by the Department of Labour with regard to the placement of, and assistance to, unemployed persons. In reply to its previous comments, the Committee also notes that the employment projects and Junior Achievers programme are coordinated by the Ministry. It further notes with interest the 1996 National Youth Yearbook supplied by the Government describing the operation of programmes promoting employment for juveniles (Article 8 of the Convention).

Articles 4 and 5. The Government states that the Joint Advisory Committee is consulted on matters concerning the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of the employment service policy. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would give all the particulars required by the report form on the arrangements made through the Joint Advisory Committee, how the Joint Advisory Committee was constituted and the procedure adopted for the appointment of employer and worker representatives.

Article 7. The Committee notes that the Government has amended its Building Code mandating that all public buildings insert ramps, rails and designated parking space for disabled persons. It recalls again that, under this Article, measures shall be taken:

a) to facilitate within the various employment offices specialization by occupations and by industries, such as agriculture and any other branch of activity in which such specialization may be useful; and

b) to meet adequately the needs of particular categories of applicants for employment, such as disabled persons.

The Committee expresses its firm hope that the Government will provide information in its next report on any other measures taken in order to give effect to this Article.

Part IV of the report form. Please continue to furnish statistical information concerning the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified, and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices.
