Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Cuba (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period up to 31 May 1999. It notes that in accordance with article 10 of Decree-Law No. 147 of 21 April 1994 the State Committee of Labour and Social Security was transformed into the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. The Committee also notes the information concerning the organizational structure of this Ministry that currently consists of the Directorate of Labour Resources; of Salaries; of Social Security; of Assistance and Social Prevention; of Inspection and Labour Protection; of Legal Affairs and International Relations; of Personnel and Cadres; of Internal Administration; and the Institute of Labour Studies and Research. The Committee would be grateful if the Government could indicate whether the creation of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has resulted in a more efficient operation of a system of labour administration (Article 4 of the Convention) and whether any practical difficulties have been encountered in the process of implementation of this reform.
