Repetition

Article 7 of the Convention. Compilation of statistics of employment. The Committee requests the Government to supply methodological information on the Jersey Annual Social Survey as soon as possible.

Articles 9, 10 and 11. Compilation of statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work wage, structure and distribution and labour costs. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that statistics of time rates of wages are not currently compiled, but the Employment Forum (an independent consultation body) has been established by law in 2003 with a view to doing research and making recommendations in relation to the minimum wage. This Forum is responsible for reviewing the rates of minimum wages, and in particular in certain low paid industries in the Island. It also notes the limited information provided on the application of Articles 10 and 11. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken or envisaged to improve and enhance the collection, compilation and publication of statistics governed by Articles 9, 10 and 11.

Furthermore, the Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution I[1] and [2] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.

Article 12. Consumer price indices. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and requests the Government to continue to provide information on retail price indices for all items and main groups (Article 5), as well as detailed information on the methodology used for these statistics (Article 6).
