The Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government in its report and appended documentation concerning the classification and remuneration of posts in the private sector. In order to appraise the extent to which the application of the principle of the Convention has led to a narrowing of the female/male wage differential, the Committee requests the Government to provide, in its next report, information concerning: (i) the salary scales applying in the public sector, with an indication of the percentage of men and women employed at different levels; (ii) statistical data concerning the minimum or basic wage rates and the average actual earnings of men and women in the economy, broken down, where possible, by occupation or sector of employment, seniority or skill level as well as information on the percentage of women employed in different occupations or sectors; and (iii) information regarding any surveys or studies undertaken or envisaged with a view to determining the reasons for wage disparities and details on any measures to remove the barriers to the full implementation of the Convention.
