The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2012 in which it indicates that the National Statistics Committee is the main organization responsible for the compilation of statistics covered by the Convention. According to the Government’s report, statistics are based on ILO standards and guidelines. The Committee notes that statistics of the economically active population, employment and unemployment are collected and compiled through the integrated sample survey of household budgets and the labour force and conducted on a quarterly basis, covering the population as a whole (Article 7 of the Convention). Moreover, the Committee notes that the Government regularly provides replies to the questionnaire for the ILO Yearbook of Labour Statistics. It notes, however, that the Government has still not supplied the legislative texts giving effect to the Convention. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to supply copies of the legislative texts giving effect to the Convention.
Article 3. Consultations with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee once again requests the Government to take measures to give full effect to this provision and to indicate, for each Article of Part IV of the Convention in respect of which the Government has accepted the obligations, the way in which representative organizations of employers and workers have been consulted.
Article 8. Statistics on the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Committee notes that the second national population census was conducted in 2009 and its results are available on the website of the National Statistics Office. The Committee invites the Government to include in its next report, in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of the Convention, information on all relevant sources used in collecting and compiling statistics on the economically active population and communicate the published statistics to the ILO.
Article 9(2). Statistics on time rates of wages and normal hours of work. The Government indicates that current statistics of average monthly earnings and weekly hours actually worked are compiled on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Committee notes that there is no mention in the Government’s report of whether or not current statistics on wage rates are produced, covering the whole country, all economic activities and all types and sizes of establishments and enterprises. The Committee invites the Government to indicate in its next report if statistics on wage rates and normal hours of work continue to be produced and, if so, to please communicate the published statistics to the ILO.
Article 16. Acceptance of obligations. The Committee notes the information available in the report and on the website of the National Statistics Office in respect of Articles 11–14, obligations which have not been accepted. Information on labour disputes does not seem to be available (Article 15). The Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the possibility of accepting the obligations under Articles 11–15, in accordance with Article 16(3). It invites the Government to provide in its next report information in this regard.
Articles 11–14. The Committee invites the Government to continue to send to the ILO the information and statistics referred to under Articles 11–14 of the Convention and any relevant methodological information available.
