Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2010, Publicación: ª reunión CIT ()

The Committee notes with regret 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:

Part II (Medical care), Article 9 of the Convention, and Part VIII (Maternity benefit), Article 48. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the statistical information provided on the number of workplaces (195,942) and the total number of insured persons (15,125,562) registered in 2006, distributed per category. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able, with the help of the ILO, to provide statistical information with its next report on the scope of each of the above contingencies, as requested by the report form under Article 76, Title I, of the Convention, with an indication of the number of employees protected by the social security scheme in relation to the total number of employees in the country.

Part XIII (Common provisions), Article 71(3) and Article 72(2). The Committee noted in its previous comments that, by virtue of section 34 of Act No. 13 of 1980, the financial situation of the Social Security Fund had to be examined by one or more actuaries every three years. It requested the Government to indicate whether such actuarial studies and calculations concerning the financial equilibrium of social security had been carried out recently and, if so, to provide the results of these studies. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the actuarial study is still being carried out. The study is intended to allow the Social Security Fund to appraise the number of participants as well as the monetary and in-kind benefits which will be provided, as well as the value of contributions for the persons insured in the future. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information on the progress achieved in this respect.
