The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Recalling its comments concerning the draft Decree on wages intended to replace the Decree of 9 February 1973, the Committee notes that that draft decree was not adopted because the Government had in the meantime decided to revise the Labour Code itself. It therefore asks the Government to provide further information on the revision of the Labour Code with regard to wages and hopes that any amendments made will promote the application of the Convention.

2. The Committee recalls its comments concerning section 14(2) of Act No. 92-570 of 1992 describing the general conditions of service of public servants, under which access to certain posts may be restricted to individuals of one sex or the other on grounds of physical aptitude. While the Government previously indicated that these consist of fairly marginal positions without any significant impact on the determination of categories of public servants, or their grades and salaries, it states in its most recent report that the provisions in question have never been applied in respect of the recruitment of officials and that they will soon be abrogated. Noting the linkage of this subject to the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), the Committee asks the Government to provide information on the progress made in amending section 14 of Act No. 92-570 of 1992 in its next report under Convention No. 111 as well.

3. In its previous comments, the Committee encouraged the Government to undertake an analytical study of the position and pay of men and women in all job categories within and between the various sectors with a view to addressing the problem of the continuing wage gap between women and men based on sex and exploring possibilities for the use of objective job evaluation methodologies. Noting the Government’s expressed interest to undertake such a study with the assistance of the ILO, the Committee hopes that such assistance will be made available and asks the Government to provide information on any measures taken in this regard.

4. As the Government’s report does not fully reply to point 4 of its previous direct request, the Committee once again asks the Government to provide information on the measures taken by the labour inspectors to ensure equal remuneration, the number and nature of violations of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value reported by the labour inspectors, and the methods applied by the inspectors when dealing with violations.

5. Please indicate whether any promotional activities, including in cooperation with workers’ and employers’ organizations, are undertaken with regard to the promotion of equal pay between men and women.
