Parts I, II and IV of the Convention. Statistics relating to wages and hours of work. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government with regard to statistics on wages and hours worked, as well as minimum wage rates. The Committee also notes that the Government is requesting the technical and financial assistance of the ILO for the collection, compilation and publication of labour statistics, including employment trends, wages and hours of work, as well as working conditions in micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises. The Committee requests that the Government continue providing statistics regularly to the ILO on the subjects covered by Parts I, II and IV of the Convention. The Committee hopes that, in due course, the Government will be a position to report on the effects of the technical assistance provided by the Office.

The Committee notes the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and the corresponding decision of the Governing Body at its 328th Session in October–November 2016 (GB.328/LILS/2/1) calling upon the Office to commence follow-up with member States that are still bound by the Convention, encouraging them to ratify the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), as the most up-to-date instrument in this area, and resulting in the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 63. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regards.
