Night Work of Young Persons (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 6) - Lao People's Democratic Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

The Committee refers to its previous comments. It notes that the Labour Code was enacted in 1990 (Ordinance No. 100 of the President of the Republic, dated 24 December 1990, to promulgate Act No. 10/90/ASP, of 20 November 1990, respecting labour). It notes that no provision in the above Labour Code prohibits the night work of children in accordance with the Convention.

The Committee also notes the Government's communication to the effect that the implementation of the Labour Code is giving rise to many difficulties and that it would be necessary to request technical assistance from the ILO. It invites the Government to consider the possibility of requesting the ILO for the technical assistance which it may need to bring the Labour Code into conformity with the Convention and to report any progress achieved in this respect.
