Convention (n° 88) sur le service de l'emploi, 1948 - Inde (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee takes note with interest of the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, the information on the implementation of the recommendations of the Report of the Committee on the National Employment Service (the "Mathew Report") and on the measures that have been taken or are envisaged on the basis of these recommendations. It also notes the information concerning the application of Articles 2 and 3 (general organisation and extension of the networks of employment offices), 6 (functions of the Employment Service) and 8 (special arrangements for juveniles) of the Convention.

As regards Article 10, the Government indicates that tripartite committees on employment at the national, state and local levels are expected to play an important role in promoting the use of employment exchanges by the private sector and that with modernisation of employment services there will be qualitative improvement in the services offered by the employment exchanges, which will result in a substantial increase in the voluntary utilisation of the employment service by the private and public sectors. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would describe in more detail the role of these tripartite committees in promoting the use of employment exchanges by the private sector and would give particulars, when appropriate, concerning qualitative improvements in their services as a result of such modernisation.
