The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition
Part III (Old-age benefit). Article 15 of the Convention. Retirement age. According to the 12th actuarial review of the national insurance scheme, the number of pensioners per 100 contributors has doubled between 1982 and 2005 and the replacement ratio has increased more than six times during that period due to the increased value of new pensions and periodic pension adjustments. In parallel, pensionable age of 65 years is progressively being increased to reach 67 years on 1 January 2018 while flexible retirement allows retirement at any age from 60 to 70 years. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the labour legislation of Barbados deems certain occupations as arduous or unhealthy and whether the pensionable age is lowered in respect of persons who have been engaged in such occupations. Please provide a copy of the provisions of national laws and regulations relevant in this respect.
