Application of the principle in the private sector. The Committee notes that the Government states in a general way that in the context of the implementation of the Government Plan for Gender Equality 2012–16, the Department of Employment has taken a series of measures to strengthen the process of gender mainstreaming, including measures for training and raising awareness about equality issues. The Committee recalls that the study entitled “Assessment of the situation with regard to equality/equity in the employment, vocational training and social protection sectors”, published in June 2010, on the wage gaps between men and women (5.5 per cent in the export sector and 40.3 per cent in “other sectors”) found that these wage gaps were essentially due to discrimination. The Committee requests the Government to take specific steps, within the framework of gender mainstreaming or otherwise, with a view to eliminating wage discrimination between men and women in the private sector and ensuring compliance with the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the steps taken in this regard, including in the formulation and implementation of objective job evaluation methods free from gender bias.
Monitoring and enforcement. Labour inspection. The Committee notes with interest that training sessions on fundamental rights, including equal remuneration, have been organized for labour inspectors, in collaboration with the ILO, in various municipalities across the country. Taking note of the Government’s information on this matter, the Committee trusts that the Government will soon be in a position to provide specific information on the inspections carried out by the labour inspectorate in relation to equal remuneration, the violations of section 346 of the Labour Code reported by labour inspectors and the penalties applied, particularly in the textile sector and the informal manufacturing sector.
The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
