Workmen's Compensation (Agriculture) Convention, 1921 (No. 12) - Malawi (Ratification: 1965)

The Committee notes the information sent by the Government in its report and particularly the fact that the Workmen’s Compensation Act of 2000 is also applicable to workers employed in agriculture, amongst other sectors. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide, in its next report, information concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including statistics relating to the number of workers employed in agriculture, the number of accidents recorded in this sector and the amounts allocated in respect of medical care and cash benefits to agricultural workers who are victims of occupational accidents.
