The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government, particularly regarding the new Integrated Basic System of Wages Statistics which will be put into operation as from 1992.

Article 5, paragraph 1 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide further details about the data to be compiled and published with respect to average earnings and hours worked under the new Integrated System, so that it can be determined whether these statistics meet the requirements of the Convention.

Article 10, paragraph 2. The Committee notes with interest that the new Integrated System includes the collection of wage data by sex, although not yet contemplated as a generality. It therefore hopes that the Government will continue its effort to obtain separate statistics of average earnings for each sex and for adults and juveniles, in accordance with this provision of the Convention.

Part III of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work covered by Part III of the Convention will be collected and published as part of the new Integrated System.

Part IV. The Committee notes that the National Institute of Statistics is examining the possibility of collecting statistics of wages in agriculture, and requests the Government to continue reporting any progress made in this connection.
