Article 1(c) of the Convention. Communication to the ILO of the statistics covered by the Convention. The Government indicates in its report that the Central Statistical Organization of Myanmar has two regular statistical publications: the Statistical Yearbook and the Selected Monthly Economic Indicators. The Government adds that efforts are being made to improve and upgrade statistical publications with more information based on international standards. It further states that a Statistical Yearbook was being drafted and that the publication would cover up to 2014 data. The Committee notes, however, that the ILO Department of Statistics does not have information of the statistical sources used to provide data for these publications and whether or not they cover the statistics mentioned under the Convention. Moreover, statistics on working time and earnings of employees are not regularly submitted to the ILO Department of Statistics via its annual questionnaire on labour statistics. The latest statistics on working time received by these means refer to 2008, while the latest statistics on earnings received refer to 1999. The Committee further notes that no new information in relation to Part II of the Convention has been communicated with the report or communicated to the ILO Department of Statistics. The Committee therefore requests that the Government communicate statistical information on average earnings and hours of work available for the economy as a whole and disaggregated by main economic activity for the most recent time periods possible. Please also communicate a copy of the most recent Statistical Yearbook available.

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.
