Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Israel (Ratification: 1965)

1. The Committee notes from the report that the Israel Institute of Productivity is prepared to conduct job analysis projects, but that as a result of the economic recession employers are reluctant to embark on such evaluations. Please indicate in the next report whether any such evaluations have recently been conducted for the purposes of applying the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value.

3. Further to the adoption of the Employment (Equal Opportunities) Act, 5748-1988, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide detailed information on the practical application of the principle of the Convention, including information on the activities of the Women's Bureau of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, on the working of the Male and Female Workers (Equal Pay) Act, 5724-1964, and on any court judgements made under these Acts. Please also provide copies of collective agreements concluded in sectors employing a high proportion of women, and any available statistics on the average incomes of men and women - if possible classified by economic sector or type of occupation.

3. The Committee notes from the report that some 30 employers have been found guilty of sex discrimination in advertising for jobs. Please continue to supply information on the work of the inspection services in this regard, including copies of inspection reports which would illustrate how the Convention is applied in practice.
