Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report and attached documentation.

The Committee notes the provisions of the new Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal, 1990, Article 11(5) of which proscribes discrimination between men and women in regard to remuneration "for the same work". Referring to its 1990 General Observation, where the Committee emphasised the importance of ensuring the legislative application of the Convention, the Committee hopes that the Government will take all necessary measures to ensure that discrimination in remuneration is prohibited also for work of equal value. As new labour legislation will, according to the Government's report, be submitted to the next session of Parliament, the Committee urges the Government to take this opportunity to ensure legislative conformity with the Convention. Noting moreover with interest that the Government has requested advice and technical cooperation on job evaluation and on other matters relevant to the effective implementation of the Convention, the Committee suggests that the Office also be afforded an opportunity to comment on the draft legislation before it has been finalised, from the point of view of applying the provisions of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information on any measures taken as a result of Office assistance to further the application of the Convention.
