Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government's report replying to its previous direct request. It notes that a policy to integrate women into development has just been adopted and that two focal points have been set up within the ministerial departments concerned to conduct studies on the situation of the women employed by these ministries. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide details of the content of its policy on equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, which is the principle laid down by Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

2. The Committee notes that ad hoc surveys carried out in two companies employing a large number of women showed that women have the same rights and benefits as men. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of the conclusions of these surveys with its next report, particularly as they concern remuneration within the meaning of Article 1(a) of the Convention.
