Article 7(2)(a) of the Convention. Ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents. The Committee had previously requested the Government to indicate whether the national legislation determines the identification measures to be adopted to ensure that the system of medical examinations for fitness is applied to children and young persons employed on their own account or that of their parents in itinerant trading or in any other occupation carried out in the streets or in places to which the public have access.
