Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (Ratification: 1977)

In its previous comments, the Committee had pointed out that, pursuant to section 51 of Supreme Decree No. 22-578 of 13 August 1990, the Bolivian social security system does not provide for the payment of family benefits in the manner prescribed under Article 42, Part VII (Family benefits), of the Convention. In reply, the Government limits itself to stating that the regime of family allowances is under the administration of the employers, and that the social security system monitors compliance. In these circumstances, the Committee cannot but again express the hope that the Government will adopt the necessary measures to re-establish a regime of family benefits which complies with the provisions of Part VII of the Convention.
