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. Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes the various legal provisions prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction and social origin, including the Labour Code of 1994, and the Government's statement that there is no discrimination, exclusion or preference in legislation, administrative practice or in relationships between persons or groups of persons on the grounds listed in the Convention and that there have been no complaints before the Labour Inspection Service. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the methods taken to implement this policy in practice, including statistical data on the number of persons who have gained access to vocational training, employment and particular occupations with a breakdown by reference to race, colour, national extraction and sex.

2. The Committee notes from the report that sections 21 and 26 of Act No. 18.834 and 22 and 28 of Act No. 18.883 establish the non-discriminatory basis of selection and evaluation of candidates for entry to, respectively, the public administration services and municipal services. The Committee requests information on the number of women applicants, their rate of acceptance, and the posts they occupy. In this respect the Committee takes note of the National Service for Women (SERNAM) of the Ministry of Labour created by Act No. N-19.023 of 3 January 1991, and its Plan of Equality of Opportunity for Women elaborated in 1993. The Committee would appreciate receiving details on the work of SERNAM in relation to women's access to employment and professions, such as the 1993 seminar it co-hosted with the Office in Santiago de Chile on repercussions of productive reconversion and technological change on the employment and working conditions of women, and the participation of its Director in various national events such as the 1994 "Women and Employment" seminar.
