Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Night Work (Women) Convention, 1919 (No. 4) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1934)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In its previous comments, the Committee pointed out that the national legislation contained no provision prohibiting the employment of women during the night. The Government indicated, in a previous report, that there was a general consensus against the adoption of provisions in this respect which would be discriminatory towards women. The Committee notes, according to the last report, that consultations were being held with women's organisations and trade-union organisations with a view to ratifying Convention No. 89, which is more flexible.

The Committee requests the Government to report all developments in this field.
