Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No. 159) - Russian Federation (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s highly detailed report, particularly the information supplied in reply to previous comments. It notes in particular the growing number of registered disabled and the strain this is placing on limited services. In light of the newly adopted Federal Law on Social Protection of Disabled Persons, the Committee would appreciate receiving further information on the measures taken or contemplated to address the issues of adequate funding of the rehabilitation and employment system in the Russian Federation.
