Convenio sobre estadísticas de salarios y horas de trabajo, 1938 (núm. 63) - Guernsey

The Committee notes the supplementary information provided by the Government in light of the Governing Body’s decision at its 338th Session (June 2020). The Committee proceeded to examine the application of the Convention on the basis of the supplementary information provided this year, as well as of the information available to it in 2019.

Parts I and II of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there have been no noteworthy developments during the reporting period with respect to the application of the Convention, and that the data required under the Convention continues to be collected and published. The Committee welcomes the information provided by the Government in its report and invites the Government to continue to provide information on any developments regarding the application of the Convention.

In this context, the Committee recalls the recommendations of the Fourth Meeting of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group in September 2018, confirming the status of the Convention as an outdated instrument. It therefore welcomes the indication that the States of Guernsey will consider ratification of the Labour Statistics Convention, 1980 (No. 160), as the most up-to-date instrument on labour statistics, resulting in the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 63. It notes that this is especially opportune in light of the Governing Body’s decision at its 334th Session (October–November 2018) to place an item on the agenda of the International Labour Conference in 2024 for consideration of the abrogation of Convention No. 63, on the recommendation of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group. The Committee once again reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regard.
