Convenio sobre el desempleo, 1919 (núm. 2) - Myanmar (Ratificación : 1921)

Advisory committees on the operation of free public employment agencies. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2009, including its replies to the 2006 observation. The Government reports that the Department of Labour provides a free employment service through its network of 77 township labour exchange offices, and that, also through these offices, the Department of Labour provides manpower supply services to industries and establishments in public, cooperative and private sectors. The Government adds that measures are being taken to review the existing labour laws, including those relating to unemployment. The Committee refers to its previous comments and reiterates its hope that the future legislation will ensure the establishment of free and independent workers’ organizations for the purposes of consultation on the operation of free public employment agencies, as required by the Convention. It asks the Government to specify the measures taken to combat unemployment in the country (Article 1 of the Convention).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2011.]
