Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) (Ratification: 1982)

1. The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending June 1996 and the information sent in reply to the previous observations and direct requests. It notes, however, that the report does not include the statistical information required by the report form adopted by the Governing Body (see under Article 1 of the Convention). The Committee once again requests the Government to supply the fullest possible data on the situation, employment levels and trends, both globally and in regard to particular categories of workers.

2. The Committee notes the creation of state employment coordination bodies responsible for analysing regional characteristics of the labour market with a view to formulating appropriate employment policies. It requests the Government to indicate how these coordinating bodies contribute to determining and, in the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy, regularly reviewing the measures to be adopted with a view to promoting full, productive and freely chosen employment, in accordance with Article 2.

The Committee is raising other questions in a direct request.
