Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

Display in: French - SpanishView all

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee hopes the Government will be able to provide information in its next report, on plans and programmes being implemented or prepared, stating their employment objectives and indicating the extent to which they have been attained and drawing attention to any special difficulties encountered.

With regard to the report form on the Convention, the Committee recalls that the preparation of a full report may require consultation with other ministries or government agencies concerned, such as those responsible for planning, economic affairs and statistics. It hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide a full report in the near future on the application of the Convention, and that it will also contain indications on the following points:

(a) statistical data on the nature, extent and trends of employment, unemployment and underemployment;

(b) the employment situation with regard to particular categories of workers such as women, young people, disabled workers, and on the measures taken or under consideration to meet their needs;

(c) measures taken or contemplated with regard to education and vocational training and their coordination with the needs of the labour market;

(d) the activities of the Adult Vocational Training Centre and the action undertaken by the Manpower Service with regard to employment policy.

2. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the Government's report contains no information concerning the consultations required by Article 3 of the Convention. It would be grateful if, in its next report, the Government would give concrete examples of consultations with the representatives of the persons concerned, bearing in mind that the consultations provided for in the instruments should concern both the preparation and the implementation of employment policy.

3. Lastly, the Committee suggests that the Government may wish to seek the technical assistance of the ILO multidisciplinary team in Addis Ababa in regard to the issues raised by the Convention.
