The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Articles 1, 3 and 6 of the Convention. Activities of the employment service and contribution to employment promotion. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report concerning the activities carried out by the Public Services Department and the Employment Department. The Government indicates that appointments to public services vacancies fall under the purview of the Public Services Department, while other vacancies fall within the remit of the Employment Department. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the activities carried out by the competent departments in order to ensure “the best possible organization of the employment market as an integral part of the national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment and the development and use of productive resources”.

Articles 4 and 5. Participation of social partners. The Committee had previously noted that, pursuant to section 18 of the Labour Relations Act No. 12 of 2010, a tripartite advisory committee should have been established at the central level and that the Ministry of Labour and Rehabilitation would determine the number of such committees to be established at the local and national level. The Committee refers once again to the 2010 General Survey concerning employment instruments (paragraph 208), in which it recalled that the public employment services’ direct and constant interaction with employers and jobseekers in the job market was essential for the effective implementation of employment policies. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the advisory committee, and the procedure adopted for the appointment of employers’ and workers’ representatives.

Article 9. Staff of the employment service. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the status, conditions of service, methods of recruitment and selection, and training of staff of the employment service.

While acknowledging the complexity of the situation prevailing on the ground, the Committee trusts that the Government will make all efforts to bring its law and practice into conformity with the Convention.
