Labour Code intact on paper, women excluded in practice
The 2007 Labour Code sets a 40-hour week and annual leave, but the decisive development is administrative exclusion of women from most public and NGO employment.

In practice
Enforcement machinery — labour inspection, the tripartite wage-setting body — is largely dormant. Written contracts are uncommon outside international organisations. The bans on women working for NGOs and in most government roles have no basis in the Labour Code itself, which is precisely why the code is a poor guide to what actually happens.
