Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Niger (Ratification: 1966)

1. Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Application of the Convention’s principle by means of collective agreements. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the inter-occupational collective agreement of 15 December 1972 has not yet been revised. Recalling that section 38 of the agreement is not in conformity with the Convention, the Committee notes the Government’s commitment to take the concept of "work for equal value" into account in the forthcoming revision of the agreement. The Government is asked to keep the Committee informed of any developments in this regard.

2. Part V of the report form. Statistical information. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it will supply statistical information that will enable the Committee to assess existing remuneration inequalities between men and women as soon as such information becomes available. The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to collect and provide to the Committee statistical data on the earnings of men and women in the private and public sectors.
