The Committee notes the Government’s report in which it states its willingness to undertake every effort to promote the application of the principle of equality and treatment and its determination to take the necessary measures to allow men and women workers to benefit from the protection provided by the Convention. The Government further indicates that it will communicate in its next report more detailed and complete information on the manner in which the Convention is applied. The Committee takes due note of the difficulties the country may at present be confronted with in implementing the provisions of the Convention and hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide the following information:

(1)   any activities carried out or envisaged by the National Tripartite Committee and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs to promote equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value;

(2)   the manner in which vocational training establishments, the projects to develop occupational skills and the projects for youth advancement, especially young women, take into account the advancement of women and the promotion of equality between men and women with a view to eliminating existing wage inequalities between men and women;

(3)   any efforts made or envisaged, including national, sectoral or enterprise-level studies or surveys, to collect and analyse statistical data, disaggregated by sex, on the earnings levels of men and women and their respective levels of participation in the labour market, if possible, by branch of economic activity or occupation, on which to base an assessment of the application of the Convention; and

(4)   any other information that would enable the Committee to make an evaluation of the progress made or the specific difficulties encountered in the application of the Convention.
