Convention concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work, 1938 (No. 63) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. Compilation, publication and communication of statistics relating to wages and hours of work. The Committee notes that, from the information available to the ILO Department of Statistics, the main sources of statistics on wages and hours of work are the Monthly Survey on Employment and Wages in Formal Sector Establishments (Encuesta Mensual de Empleo y Salario a Establecimientos del Sector Formal) and the Continuous Household Survey (Encuesta Continua de Hogares). The latest statistics on working time received by the ILO Department of Statistics, via its annual questionnaire on labour statistics, refer to 2010, while statistics on earnings have been received for 2009, 2010 and 2013. In that regard, the Committee notes that statistics on average earnings disaggregated by sex and economic activity (compiled separately for mining, manufacturing and construction) for 2014 were provided by the Government in its report. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide on a regular basis updated and disaggregated statistics on average earnings and hours of work.
