Convention (n° 122) sur la politique de l'emploi, 1964 - Partie caribéenne des Pays-Bas

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Implementation of an active employment policy. The Government indicates that, even though the Constitution of the Netherlands changed in October 2010 and the islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba became part of the country, legislation that was in force on these three islands remained the same, including labour market policies. The Committee takes note that the Government is implementing a comprehensive programme to improve living standards on these islands and expects that this will have a positive effect on the local employment rate. The Committee invites the Government to include information in its next report on the measures taken to ensure an active employment policy as required by Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. It would also welcome specific information on measures adopted to create productive employment opportunities for young persons, and on the consultations held with the representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations, including details of their contribution to the design and implementation of an active employment policy (Article 3 of the Convention).
