Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

The Committee notes that, for some years, the Government has not provided information sufficient to enable an appraisal of the extent to which the wage differential has been reduced through application of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. Accordingly, the Committee requests the Government to provide, in its next report, full information concerning the implementation in practice of the Convention including: (i) data concerning the average earnings of women and men broken down, where possible, by occupation or sector of employment; (ii) copies of collective agreements, especially for enterprises or industries employing significant numbers of women; (iii) information concerning any surveys or studies undertaken or envisaged with a view to ensuring or promoting equality between women and men, particularly in respect of remuneration; and (iv) whether steps have been taken or are contemplated to re-examine the uniform job classification system introduced in 1984, with a view to including additional evaluation criteria which reflect the requirements of jobs most commonly undertaken by women.
