Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Chile (Ratification: 1971)

Previous comment

Articles 1(b) and 2(2)(a) of the Convention. Work of equal value. Legislation. The Committee notes that, in response to its previous comment, the Government indicates that it seeks to review equal pay legislation and that a number of parliamentary motions are being considered. These include Bulletin No. 9322-13 (the text of which refers to equal pay for work of “equal value”) and the draft consolidating Bulletins Nos. 10576-13, 12719-13 and 14139-34 (which refers to equal pay for equal work or “work to which equal value, function or responsibility is attributed”). The Committee trusts that section 62bis of the Labour Code will be amended in the near future and that it will give full effect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of “equal value”.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
