Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2014, publiée 104ème session CIT (2015)

Convention (n° 88) sur le service de l'emploi, 1948 - Madagascar (Ratification: 1998)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Cooperation with the social partners. The Committee notes the observations of the Trade Union Confederation of Malagasy Revolutionary Workers (FISEMARE), which were received in September 2014. FISEMARE reiterates the lack of National Labour Council (CNT) meetings since 2012 and indicates that the two draft texts on further vocational training submitted to the CNT are still pending. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in respect of the observations of FISEMARE. Moreover, the Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate the manner in which the cooperation of the social partners has been ensured in the organization and operation of the employment service.

Article 6. Organization of the employment service. FISEMARE indicates that, following the resolution of the national political crisis, the Government assigned part of the employment service from the Ministry of the Public Service, Labour and Social Legislation to the Ministry of the Population. The functions of the new employment service include matching training to employment and youth employment guidance, while labour integration and retraining and further vocational training are still covered by the employment service of the Ministry of the Public Service, Labour and Social Legislation. The Committee once again invites the Government to indicate the manner in which the employment service has contributed to ensuring “effective recruitment and placement” in the context of the national crisis.

Article 8. Special arrangements for young persons. The Committee once again invites the Government to provide updated information on the measures adopted in the context of employment and vocational training services to combat youth unemployment.

Article 9. Staff of the employment service. The Committee asks the Government to report any measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this Article.

Article 11. Collaboration with private employment agencies. The Committee once again invites the Government to indicate how effective cooperation is secured between the public employment service and private employment agencies.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
