In previous comments, the Committee had suggested that the Government introduce the concept of work of equal value, amending section 194 of the Labour Code, which provides for "equal pay for equal work", in order to ensure greater application of the Convention.
The Committee notes with interest that the Government indicates in its report that in order to implement the Committee's recommendation to introduce the concept of work of equal value into its legislation, the Government intends to consult with the social partners and hopes to be able to submit a bill to Congress amending section 194 of the Labour Code. The Committee expresses its hope that the Government will keep it informed of any progress made in this regard.
