The Committee notes with interest the detailed information supplied by the Government in its report.

The Committee notes in particular the information concerning the central fixing of wage rates and the table providing wage scales for the different categories in various branches of industry.

In order to appreciate more fully the practical application of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value, the Committee requests the Government to communicate examples of classifications of occupations over the different wage scales in one or more branches of industry, together with the percentages of men and women in the occupations covered.

The Committee requests the Government also to include in its next report the centrally-fixed wage scales for non-industrial sectors, such as the national education system and the national health and social welfare system, together with examples of classifications of occupations over the different scales in these sectors, and the percentages of men and women in each occupation.
