Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Sao Tome and Principe (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Statistical information. The Committee had previously noted the Government’s indication that the National Institute of Statistics was carrying out a survey which also covered the issue of remuneration of men and women. Referring to its 1998 general observation, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention once again to the importance of gathering and analysing statistics on salary levels, disaggregated by sex, in order to enable the Committee to evaluate the nature, extent and causes of the gender pay gap. The Committee therefore asks the Government to communicate the results of the abovementioned survey as soon as they become available. It also requests the Government to provide information on any other measures taken or envisaged that would permit an assessment of the remuneration levels of men and women and wages differentials.
