1. The Committee thanks the Government for transmitting the wage scales applicable in the public service for 1992, disaggregated by sex. The Committee notes that the proportion of women earning the lowest income level (between 200 and 300 lempiras (Lps)) is double the number of men and that the number of men earning the highest income level (2,001 Lps and over) is six times greater than the number of women. The Committee requests information in the next report on the reasons for these very marked differences.

2. The Committee notes that it has not been possible to obtain the statistics which it requested previously concerning wage rates and average incomes received by men and women, disaggregated where possible by occupation, sector, seniority and skill level, as well as information on the corresponding percentage of women. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to supply the above statistics in its next report.

3. The Committee notes that the reports of the General Inspectorate in relation to this Convention, as well as the texts of the collective agreements which are referred to in the report have not been received and it would be grateful if the Government would transmit them.
