The Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments.

It has examined the text of the Executive Decrees adopted in 1986 and 1987 (and supplied with the Government's reports) respecting the wage-fixing systems in various sectors. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the wage rates are determined on the basis of certain inherent elements of jobs and are applicable uniformly to all workers without distinction on grounds of sex. Jobs are classified into occupational categories as a function of the nature and complexity of the work that they involve and the skills required of the persons performing them.

The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on this subject, and particularly on the wages applicable in sectors of productive activity (such as agriculture, fishing, industry and commerce) in which, according to the Government's statements in its reports, an increase has recently been observed in the participation of women workers.
