Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

1. In its previous direct request, the Committee noted the salary scales applicable in the public service for 1992, disaggregated by sex, and requested information on the marked difference in income levels between men and women, which, in some cases, were six times greater at the highest levels. As information has not been provided on these unequal salaries the Committee requests the Government, once again, to send the explanation requested.

2. In regard to the request for statistics 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 regrets that no information has been provided on whether it is possible to supply this data. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to send this information in its next report.
