Convention concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work, 1938 (No. 63) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

Technical assistance. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its brief report, including its request for ILO technical assistance to assist it in filling the gaps in implementation of the Convention. It recalls that the Government had not submitted information since October 2005. The Committee notes the information concerning the 2012 Statistical Yearbook, which is available online, as well as the 2015 Household Survey, to be published in June 2016. The Committee further notes that, according to the information available to the ILO Department of Statistics, labour market statistics in Djibouti are not compiled on a regular basis. The Committee requests that the Government provide information on the results and methodology of the 2015 Household Survey, as soon as it becomes available, and to regularly provide information on the application of the Convention.

The Committee notes the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and the corresponding decision of the Governing Body at its 328th Session in October–November 2016 (GB/328/LILS/2/1) calling upon the Office to commence follow-up with member States that are still bound by this Convention, encouraging them to ratify the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), as the most up-to-date instrument in this area, and resulting in the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 63. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regard.
