Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Minimum Age (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 5) - Saint Lucia (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes with interest from the Government's report that the Government is envisaging a review and harmonisation of its legislation with the legislation of other member States of the OECS and expects that this revision of the legislation to be done with the ILO's assistance will ensure full observance of ratified Conventions. In this connection the Committee would appreciate receiving detailed information in respect of measures envisaged or undertaken to amend the legislation giving effect to this Convention. It also requests the Government to provide in its next report statistics on the number of children employed in industry and on cases of non-compliance or contravention noted by labour inspection and sanction imposed (point V of the report form on this Convention).
