Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee recalled in its previous comments that the concept of equal remuneration set out in the national legislation is more limited than the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value laid down in Article 2 of the Convention and requested information on the application of this principle in practice.

In its latest report, the Government states that "the principle of equal remuneration between the sexes is complied with in so far as the evaluation of work is based upon its complexity".

The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information in its next report on the job appraisal systems applied in practice in the private sector and their impact on the determination of remuneration.
