Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142) - Mexico (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government concerning the implementation of the Labour Force Skills Programme. It notes in particular the emphasis that is placed in this Programme on greater participation by employers, workers and their organisations in human resources development programmes. The programme to strengthen the National Employment Service and training grants for unemployed workers are intended to promote the development of training and retraining activities for the unemployed, while the industrial training programme is intended to improve the productivity and competitivity of small and medium-sized enterprises through the further training of their employees. Furthermore, a programme has been established to strengthen the links between education, training and production needs through a more effective utilisation of training centres. The Committee also notes the coming into force of the new National Programme of Training and Productivity for 1991-1994.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply in its future reports detailed information on the developments and results achieved in all the areas covered by the Convention.
