Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Peru (Ratification: 2002)

Article 8 of the Convention. Artistic performances. The Committee noted previously that according to section 21 of Supreme Decree No. 058-2004-PCM issuing regulations to the Performers Act, No. 28131 of 18 October 2003, work done by minors in artistic activities must not: harm the health or the development of the minor; impair the minor’s education; offend against decency and morality. The same provision allows the labour administration to prohibit work by children where the abovementioned requirements are not met. The Government further indicated that the work permits granted were for young persons aged 15 years or over.

The Committee takes due note of the copies of the permits issued in 2010 appended to the Government’s report. It observes that they were only issued for young persons over 14 years of age.
