Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention. National policy on home work. As the Government’s report does not contain any new information on this point, the Committee reiterates its request for information on any progress towards the formulation and adoption of a national policy on home work in consultation with the social partners.
Article 4(f). Equality in access to training. The Committee requests the Government to provide further explanation as to how equality of treatment between home workers and other wage earners is guaranteed with respect to access to vocational training.
Article 6. Statistics. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that as of 2001, the labour inspection services have started collecting statistics on home work. It also notes the limited statistical information communicated by the Government, limited to four inspected units. The Committee requests the Government to provide more comprehensive data on the extent of home work, if possible, broken down by age, gender and type of economic activity.
Article 9(1). Labour inspection. The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 10433 of 16 June 2011 on inspection. It notes, in particular, that contrary to Act No. 9634 of 30 October 2006 on Labour inspection and State Labour Inspectorate, which authorized labour inspectors to enter private residences if there were enough indices and legal reasons, the new Act no longer empowers labour inspectors to do so. However, Act No. 10433 of 2011 does not expressly repeal Act No. 9634 of 2006. The Committee therefore requests the Government to clarify whether Act No. 9634 of 2006 is still in force and to provide more detailed information on practical arrangements for the supervision and control of home work.
Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide all available information concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including the number of workers covered by measures giving effect to the Convention and inspection results showing any infringements of the relevant legislation.
