Child-care has still not been fully deinstitutionalised and two large institutions for children with disabilities remain operational. A number of unregulated institutions financed and run by local municipalities, the Georgian Orthodox Church and Muslim communities continue to operate without proper monitoring.

ჩვენი პასუხი: Comment: … Deinstitutionalization of  two remaining state institutions for children with disabilities is progressing. Two small family type homes for children with serve disabilities and health problems have been opened in 2016-2018. In order to better support children with disabilities in foster families, payment for foster families has increased in 2019, whereas cash benefit in support of children with disabilities reintegrating with their biological families has also increased.  number of children placed in the foster families instead of institution increases annually. Number of Children in foster care in 2017 – XXX,  number of children in foster care 2018 – XXX

As for institutions run by local municipalities and faith based organization : regulatory framework has become stricter. Based on the Georgian law on licensing child care institutions,  as of September 2018 no institution can provide care to children (24 hour residential care) without license unless it is an educational facility and falls under the order of Minister of Education and Sciences of Georgia .  Based on the above mentioned law, providing such services without license is punishable and will lead to fines.

გამარჯობა მაია,

გიგზავნი ევროკომისიის მიერ გამოქვეყნებულ დოკუმენტს „Association Implementation Report on Georgia (2019)“.

გთხოვ, პრემიერ-მინისტრის ინფორმირებისთვის ოთხშაბათს დღის პირველი ნახევრისთვის მოგვაწოდო  პოზიციები (ინგლისურად, მაქსიმუმ ნახევარი გვერდი თითო კომენტარი) ქვემოთ მოყვანილ საკითხებთან დაკავშირებით:

Ø With regard to children's rights, infant (and maternal) mortality rates remain high as compared to European rates, due to low quality ante, perinatal and post-partum services amongst other factors. Child poverty remains high.

Comment: … Since 2018, registered socially vulnerable families, whose rating score is equal to or less than 100 001 with a child/children under 16 years, receive 50 GEL as the child's benefit, instead of 10 GEL previously. (info on countering mortality)

Ø Child-care has still not been fully deinstitutionalised and two large institutions for children with disabilities remain operational. A number of unregulated institutions financed and run by local municipalities, the Georgian Orthodox Church and Muslim communities continue to operate without proper monitoring.

Comment: …

Ø Georgia set up the  , though it is not yet fully functional

Comment: …

Ø The Tripartite Social Partnership Commission continues to meet at its annual plenary session as well as at working group level; however the former continues to be held with irregular frequency

Comment: Tripartite Social Partnership Commission held 2 meetings in 2018, on April 19 and September 7; it discussed occupational health and safety related issues. The TSPC also held a strategic planning meeting with the support of the International Labour Organization. To develop social partnership at a regional level, based on the decision made at the TSPC meeting of February 10, 2017, the TSPC of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara was established in April 2018. (check with Min Labour)

Ø The current system of labour inspections requires further adjustments to be an effective mechanism for implementation of the ILO fundamental conventions on labour rights

Comment: The number of labour Inspectors was increased to 40. In addition, two divisions were established: Inspecting Division and Monitoring and Supervising Division. In order to effectively enforce the OSH law across all the sectors, GoG is committed to increase the number of labour inspectors to 80 (80 labour inspectors would be needed based on the ILO standard, 1 labour inspector per 20,000 workers in transition economies). Labour officials are being constantly trained and retrained while the institution is being gradually developed. Recently, international certificates in OSH have been granted to the inspectors. (check with Min Labour)

Ø The Law on Occupational Health and Safety entered into force in August 2018 allowing the labour inspectorate to perform unannounced checks and apply fines. However, its application is restricted to economic activities defined by the Government which involve increased risk, heavy, hazardous and dangerous working conditions

Comment: The Parliament of Georgia approved a legislative package on February 19, 2019, according to which the law on Occupational Health and Safety applies to all spheres of economic activity. In addition, the current OSH law will acquire the status of an organic law, in order to make it more protected from political leverage, fluctuations and guarantee establishment of effective labour rights protection system. Organic law of Georgia on Occupational Safety will enter into force by September 2019. The law strengthens the labor inspection and gives monitoring service representatives right to unconditional access to workplaces. It expands the power of labor inspectors: they will be able to enter the enterprise without the permission of the judge, while according to the law, adopted in March 2018, the labor inspectors were not able to do it unless there was an accident or a planned inspection. (check with Min Labour)

Ø There was no progress towards approval of the Employment Service Law, while the piloting of a new model of public employment services continues slowly in the selected regions.

Comment:

Ø A new pension system raised a lot of criticism from domestic and international experts.
