The Committee notes the observations of the Autonomous Workers’ Confederation of Peru (CATP), received on 1 September 2023. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard.

Article 1 of Convention No. 44. Establishment of an unemployment insurance system. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report indicating that since 2020 a project has been under development entitled “Strengthening social protection in relation to unemployment in Peru”, which is executed by the ILO with the participation of the Ministry of Labour and Employment Promotion. According to the Government, ILO technical assistance is intended to promote the design and development of a complete protection system for unemployment, by improving the protection of workers in the event of the loss of their jobs and supporting the development of a new policy to improve employability. Finally, the Committee observes that on 3 July 2023 Bill No. 05510/2022-CR respecting the Unemployment Insurance Act was submitted to the Congress of the Republic. In this context, the Committee welcomes the efforts made, trusts that an unemployment insurance system will soon be established in conformity with the Convention, and requests the Government to provide information on the progress achieved in this respect.

Part XIII (Common provisions). Article 72(1) of Convention No. 102. Participation of insured persons in management. Health system. The Committee once again requests the Government to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the right of insured persons to participate in a consultative capacity in the management of private institutions providing health services, in conformity with the requirements of the Convention.
