Convenio sobre el seguro de enfermedad (industria), 1927 (núm. 24) - Austria (Ratificación : 1929)

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report, as well as the comments made by the National Labour Federation, according to which law enforcement has proved very difficult in respect of foreign women employed in domestic households, as their employment relationships were often on an hourly basis and the employers were increasingly reluctant to register them for sickness insurance, in breach of the duty to insure. The Committee hopes that the Government's next report will contain full information in reply to the comments made by the National Labour Federation, including information on any measures taken or contemplated to strengthen in practice the application of the Convention to this category of protected persons.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.]
