Convenio sobre el examen médico de los menores (trabajos no industriales), 1946 (núm. 78) - Bolivia (Estado Plurinacional de) (Ratificación : 1973)

The Committee notes with regret that for the second consecutive year the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With regard to the methods of identification or other methods of supervision to be adopted for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or in any other occupation carried on in the streets, the Committee requests the Government to take into consideration, when taking the legislative or regulatory measures on the basis of the analysis of the results obtained from the VALORA Plan, the indications contained in Recommendation No. 79 on the medical examination of young persons particularly Paragraph 14 on methods of supervision.

Moreover, the Committee invites the Government to refer to its comments under Convention No. 77.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
