In reply to the Committee’s previous comments on the need to introduce an invalidity insurance scheme in accordance with the Convention, the Government states that this Convention is not in keeping with the social, political, legal and economic situation in Djibouti. Industry in the country is still embryonic despite the emergence of a few factories in the last few years. The Committee takes note of this information and wishes to remind the Government that the Convention applies to workers, employees and apprentices not only in industrial enterprises but also in commercial enterprises and the liberal professions and to outworkers and domestic servants. It also notes from the additional information supplied by the Government that the latter hopes to consider this matter in the context of the revision of labour laws and regulations that it hopes to undertake with the Office’s assistance. The Committee therefore trusts that as part of that revision the Government will be able to review the question of setting up an invalidity insurance scheme adapted to the country’s needs and possibilities and in conformity with the fundamental provisions of the Convention. It asks the Government to provide information on any progress made in this respect.
