Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1964)

Part II of the Convention. Progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies conducted with a view to profit. The Committee notes the observations made by the Free Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CLTM) and the Government’s reply received in October 2014. The CLTM states that no mechanism has been introduced since the employment offices were closed down. The Government specifies that the monopoly on employment has been phased out; however, the labour inspectorates were instructed to reopen their employment offices, to register them and to procure employment for jobseekers. The Committee invites the Government to provide further information on the activities of the employment offices which have been reopened and to indicate the measures taken to give effect to the Convention. Furthermore, it requests the Government to provide information on any activities that might be carried out by private employment agencies and on the prospects of ratifying the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2016.]
