Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2019, published 109th ILC session (2021)

Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Namibia (Ratification: 2000)

Article 3(2) of the Convention. Determination of types of hazardous work. The Committee previously noted that a list of types of hazardous work prohibited to children under 18 years was in its final stage of adoption and expressed the firm hope that this list would be adopted in the near future.

The Government indicates in its report that the list of types of hazardous work prohibited to children under 18 years has not yet been adopted. Noting that the Government indicates that the adoption of the list of hazardous types of work prohibited to children under 18 years of age has been in progress since 2011, the Committee urges the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the list of types of hazardous work is adopted without further delay.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
