Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

The Committee recalls that Mongolia specified at the time of ratification of the Convention the minimum age for underground work of 18 years. It notes that the report received in 1994 indicates that the personnel departments of all enterprises and establishments maintain special records on workers under 18. The Committee points out that the Convention requires these records to be kept as regards persons who are less than two years older than the specified minimum age (Article 4 of the Convention). The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that records are kept in respect of persons under 20 years of age who are employed or work underground.

The Committee also notes the Government's indication that, during the last few years, old mines have been used again by the private economic entities, and that no contravention has been reported. It requests the Government to continue to supply information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice as required under point IV of the report form.
