The Committee notes the observations of the Christian Confederation of Malagasy Trade Unions (SEKRIMA) attached to the Government’s report.

Articles 2(1) and 3 of the Convention and application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the observations of SEKRIMA indicating that night work for young persons is generally rare and that no instances of it are recorded in the official labour inspection reports. In order to know the exact situation in the country, SEKRIMA suggests that official labour inspection reports on this matter should be disseminated to the ILO constituents. The Committee also notes the Government’s reference in its report to section 4 of Decree No. 2007-563 concerning child labour which strictly prohibits the employment of children after 6 p.m. The Government also refers to labour inspection operations aimed at detecting night work performed by children. The Government also indicates that a Child Labour Prevention, Abolition and Monitoring Division (PACTE) has been created within the Directorate of Labour and Promotion of Fundamental Rights (DTPDF). This division is responsible for: coordination, follow-up and evaluation of all activities for combating child labour; communication of information and data relating to child labour; and research and development of activities for combating child labour. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the application of the Convention in practice.
