Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

Convenio sobre la seguridad social (norma mínima), 1952 (núm. 102) - Bolivia (Estado Plurinacional de) (Ratificación : 1977)

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 had pointed out that, pursuant to section 51 of Supreme Decree No. 22-578 of 13 August 1990, the Bolivian social security system does not provide for the payment of family benefits in the manner prescribed under Article 42, Part VII (Family benefits), of the Convention. In reply, the Government limits itself to stating that the regime of family allowances is under the administration of the employers, and that the social security system monitors compliance. In these circumstances, the Committee cannot but again express the hope that the Government will adopt the necessary measures to re-establish a regime of family benefits which complies with the provisions of Part VII of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
