Convention concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work, 1938 (No. 63) - Kenya (RATIFICATION: 1964)

The Committee notes that separate statistics of average earnings and hours of work for juveniles do not appear to be relevant in Kenya (Article 10, paragraph 2, of the Convention), although specific minimum monthly wages for unskilled employees under 18 years of age are fixed by rural Agricultural Industrial Wages Orders. It encourages the Government to make further efforts to ensure the accuracy and consistency of earnings data, and to compile data on hours of work by sex.

The Committee notes with interest the Government’s request for ILO technical assistance in setting up a comprehensive labour market information system. The Committee encourages the Government to request any necessary assistance, and to send such request directly to the Bureau of Statistics of the ILO in Geneva. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information, in due course, on the results of any assistance provided in this regard.
