Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Japan (Ratification: 1953)

The Committee notes the geographical distribution of labour inspectors as of March 2004. It would however like to emphasize that such information needs to be supplemented with indications that are as detailed as possible on the subjects referred to in each of the provisions (a) to (c) of Article 10 of the Convention. The Committee also notes that no annual report on the work of the inspection services has been sent to the ILO, except for the one covering the 1998 period which was received in 2001. Recalling that among other objectives, the annual report, the form and contents of which are set out in Articles 20 and 21, aims to provide an up-to-date picture of the functioning of the labour inspection system with a view to its constant improvement, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would take appropriate measures to ensure that, in the very near future, the central inspection authority is in a position to publish and transmit to the ILO, in due time, copies of such reports.
