Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

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 previously noted the observations made by the Free Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CLTM) and the Government’s reply received in October 2014. The CLTM stated that no mechanism had been introduced since the employment offices had been closed down. The Government explained that the monopoly on employment had been phased out; however, the labour inspectorates had been instructed to reopen their employment offices and to register and procure employment for jobseekers. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the public employment offices which have been reopened and to indicate the measures taken to give effect to the Convention. It also requests the Government to provide information on any activities carried out by private employment agencies and on the prospects of ratifying the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).
