Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

Article 2(1). Scope of application of the Convention and labour inspection. Previously, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on the measures adopted to ensure that children engaged in itinerant trading and in agriculture benefit from the protection provided for by the Convention. The Committee notes the lack of information in this respect in the Government’s report. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to guarantee that all children benefit from the protection provided for by the Convention, including in the area of the informal economy. In this regard, it also requests the Government to provide information on the number of inspections carried out relating to child labour, including in the agricultural sector, indicating the number and nature of the infringements detected and penalties imposed.
