Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Togo (RATIFICATION: 1984)

DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

Article 8. Artistic performances. The Committee noted previously that none of the provisions of the bill amending Act No. 2006-010 of 13 December 2006 issuing the Labour Code regulate the participation of children under 15 years of age in artistic performances. Section 191 of the bill reproduces section 150 of the current Labour Code of 2006, establishing that exceptions to the minimum age for admission to employment of 15 years shall be determined by ministerial order.
The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report, according to which the new Labour Code of 2021 contains no exceptions regarding children of less than 15 years of age, and that it will take steps to adopt an order in this regard. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on all progress made concerning the adoption of the draft order to bring its legislation into conformity with Article 8 of the Convention.
