With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the effect given to Article 6(2)(a) and (b) of the Convention concerning the progress made in relation to the implementation of the national employment policy.

Article 5. Consultation, cooperation and negotiation between the public authorities and employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee recalls that, in its 2013 direct request under the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), it noted the Government’s indication that Worker and Employer representatives are often consulted on policies, best solutions and practices concerning issues affecting their members. The Committee requests the Government to describe the current arrangements for the consultation, cooperation and negotiations between the public authorities and employers’ and workers’ organizations, including in such areas as employment policy, occupational safety and health, labour relations, social security and minimum wage legislation. Please provide examples of measures that were taken as a result of the effective consultation with the social partners.

Article 10. Number, status, conditions of service and training of the staff of the labour administration system. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the number of staff employed within the different services of the labour administration system, as well as on their status and conditions of service. Please also provide information on the training provided to labour administration staff (including content, frequency and number of participants).

Application in practice. The Committee welcomes the detailed information in the 2012 statistical bulletin of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security provided by the Government with its report. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide extracts of reports or other periodic information on the activities of the principal labour administration services.
