comments:

The ILO has been actively fulfilling this recommendation in line with its mandate, including through its final reports, workshops, and technical discussions where these issues are consistently highlighted and advocated. However, there has been limited concrete action from the Government to advance the amendments and implementation processes.

Continue providing technical support and policy advocacy through reports, workshops, and technical discussions to support labour law reforms and regulatory improvements.

title:

The evaluation understands that amendments to the Labour Code and new regulations for private employment agencies are underway in Turkiye. These amendments would allow agricultural workers to be covered by the Labour Code and the Private Employment Agencies would take over the functions that have been handled by intermediaries until now. The ILO is recommended to offer its full support to both initiatives, which are aimed at eliminating child labour and improving working and employment conditions for seasonal agricultural workers. The ILO has strong capacity in and experience of both issues, so it would be a missed opportunity not to offer full support.
