The National Action Plan on Implementation of the ILO Conventions Nr.138 and Nr.182

In 2008 by special decree the Uzbek Government adopted the National Action Plan on Implementation of these Conventions. National Action Plan consists of 37 concrete addressed measures on the following 4 directions:

First: improvement of the legal basis with regard to the implementation of control over the prevention of illegal use of child labour;

Second: control and monitoring of the implementation of ILO Conventions №138 and №182;

Third: conducting awareness-raising work on the implementation of ILO Conventions №138 and №182;

Fourth: implementation of projects on international cooperation aimed at prevention of worst forms of child labour.

Today the provisions of National Action Plan are being implemented consistently, monitoring the observance of labour legislation, in particular, on minimum age of employment and prevention of worst forms of child labour.

In the forms of state statistical reports are included the figures which are reflecting the number of workers under the age of 18.

The recommendations for collective bargaining with introduction of these special provisions guarantee that the rights and additional safeguards provided by labour law and labour protection legislation against child labour, particularly those under 18 years old, as well as ensuring their social protection in the workplace.
On October 2, 2008 a Joint Statement of the Association of Farms, the Council of Federation of Trade Unions, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population on the inadmissibility of the use of forced child labour in agricultural work was adopted.

A series of training seminars on prevention of child labour is regularly conducted for employment agencies, media, trade union leaders and the local administration.
Since 2008 a “hotline” on child labour issues operates in all regions of the country, on which children and their parents can call at any time, if their rights are violated.
