It requests the Government to indicate, in the light of the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the Convention, to what extent these aims are being achieved and any difficulties encountered.

The Committee notes the implementation of specific programmes such as the youth employment scheme, the employment reinsertion plan and the temporary employment plan as well as the measures for promoting cooperatives and micro-business.
