Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Denmark (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes the leave scheme established by the Government in 1992 and modified by the Act on an active labour market policy, 1994. It would appreciate receiving further information on how many unemployed persons participated in the leave programmes, whether they are classified as employed or unemployed while on leave, and the rate of re-entry into work for these unemployed after their period of leave has finished. The Committee would also appreciate information on how many unemployed persons have been hired as substitutes for employed persons taking leave since 1994. Lastly, the Committee would appreciate receiving any information the Government might have on what proportion of the unemployed hired as substitutes remain in employment after the period of leave for which they are substituting is over, and what proportion re-enter unemployment.
