Article 9(2) of the Convention. Compilation of statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that according to the Government, figures on monthly wage rates have been sent to the ILO for publication in the Yearbook of Labour Statistics. The Committee notes however, that the information provided concerns average monthly earnings rather than wage rates by economic activity, and that there is no evidence that statistics of average wage rates actually paid and normal hours of work in force in various establishments are compiled, except for the data on statutory minimum wage rates. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate whether it is envisaged to take steps to compile such statistics, according to the guidelines contained in Recommendation No. 170, paragraph 4, or to indicate the obstacles that prevent their compilation.

The Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution I[2] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.

Article 11. Compilation of statistics of labour cost. The Committee asks once again the Government to communicate information on the structure of average labour costs by economic activity, according to the guidelines contained in Recommendation No. 170, paragraph 6.

Article 14. Compilation of statistics of occupational injuries and cases of disease. The Committee notes with interest the measures taken by the Government to improve the harmonization of data from different sources and to review the reporting system for statistics on occupational injuries and diseases. It requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of further developments with respect to statistics on occupational injuries and diseases and of the steps that are being taken to extend the coverage of the statistics, so as to be more representative of the country as a whole.Article 15. Compilation of statistics of industrial disputes. Noting the information provided in its report, the Committee requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of any revisions in methodology for publication of these statistics.
