Article 1(b) and 2(2)(a) of the Convention. Equal remuneration for work of equal value. Legislation. The Committee notes with interest the Government’s indication in its report that in March 2021, the Senate of the Republic approved and sent to the Chamber of Deputies a draft decree reforming 13 laws on a number of matters, including wage equality: (1) section 86 of the Federal Labour Act, in order to provide for “equal remuneration for work of equal value”; and (2) section 6 of the General Act on the right of women to a life free of violence, in order to include under economic violence “the receipt of lower wages for equal work or work of equal value”. The Committee trusts that the announced reforms will be implemented in the near future and requests the Government to provide information in that regard.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
