The Committee notes the Government’s report. The Committee understands that the Wages Regulation (Manual Workers) Order, 1992, fixing the minimum hourly rate for manual workers, including those engaged in agriculture, agro-industry or export-oriented industries, is still in force. Recalling that the ultimate objective of this Convention is to ensure to workers a minimum wage that affords a satisfactory standard of living to them and their families which makes it necessary that minimum wages should be adjusted from time to time in order to maintain the purchasing power in relation to a basic basket of essential consumer goods, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether consideration is being given, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Wages Council Act (Cap. 302), revised edition 2000, to the revision of the minimum wage rates for the agricultural sector. It also requests the Government to provide, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention and Part V of the report form, up-to-date information on the practical application of the Convention, including for instance statistics on the approximate number and occupations of workers covered by relevant legislation, extracts from labour inspection reports, copies of any recent studies on minimum wage issues, as well as any other particulars concerning the operation of the minimum wage fixing machinery in respect of agricultural workers.
