Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Chile (Ratification: 1971)

For several years the Government's information on the application of the Convention has been confined to discrimination on grounds of political opinion. The Committee therefore asks the Government in its next report to provide information on the manner in which it applies each Article of the Convention. In particular, it would be grateful for information on any measures taken to ensure effective promotion of equal opportunity and treatment, regardless of race, colour, sex, religion, national extraction or social origin, and on the results obtained, particularly as regards:

(a) access to vocational training;

(b) access to employment and particular occupations;

(c) terms and conditions of employment, and more specifically the measures taken to promote equality of opportunity and treatment:

(i) in employment, vocational training and occupational guidance under the direction of the Government;

(ii) by means of legislation and education programmes;

(iii) with the cooperation of employers' and workers' organizations and other appropriate bodies, particularly as regards employment in the private sector and matters not covered by collective agreements.
