With regard to Article 6 of the Convention and Part V of the report form, the Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made under Convention No. 77.
Article 7(2). Supervision of the enforcement of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment of children engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to take the necessary measures to supervise the application of the system of medical examinations for 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, or in places to which the public have access. In this regard, the Committee also referred to the concluding observations of March 2006 of the Committee on the Rights of the Child expressing concern at the high number of street children, mostly due to socio-economic factors (CRC/C/PER/CO/3, paragraph 65).
The Committee notes with interest section 55 of the Code of Children and Young Persons which provides that young workers are periodically subjected to medical examinations and that these examinations are free of charge for independent and domestic workers and are provided for by the health sector. The Committee further notes that Supreme Decree No. 003-2010-MIMDES determines the types of works and activities which are dangerous or harmful for the health and morals of young persons. It notes that a number of the activities enumerated in the Decree, either because of their nature or the conditions of work, concern occupations carried out in the streets or in places to which the public have access.
