The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in its report on the measures adopted to increase wages in economic sectors employing a large number of women.

The Committee notes in particular the information on the different wage scales in different economic sectors. In order better to appreciate the practical application of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value, the Committee requests the Government to provide it with examples of classifications of occupations in the various economic sectors together with the percentages of men and women in each occupation.

The Committee hopes that the Government will include in its next report information on the wage scales for non-industrial sectors, such as education, health and social welfare, together with examples of classifications of occupations in these sectors, and the percentages of men and women in each occupation.
