The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report.

1. The Committee notes the statistics for 1999, which show that there are only 37.38 per cent of women in the total active population. With regard to the educational level of women workers, the Committee notes that 12 per cent of them have only completed primary or lower education, 24 per cent have completed middle-level education and 48 per cent have completed higher-middle and higher education. With regard to the statistics on the distribution of the workforce by occupational category, the Committee notes that only 31.05 per cent of managerial staff are women.
