Convention (n° 63) concernant les statistiques des salaires et des heures de travail, 1938 - Algérie (Ratification: 1962)

Article 1 of the Convention.  The Committee notes that the most recent wage statistics appear to date back to 1996. It asks the Government, in connection with this Article, whether measures are envisaged to reduce the time between the period covered by the statistics and their dissemination, and requests it to publish the data compiled in pursuance of this Convention (in the most appropriate form - publications or dissemination over the Internet) and to communicate them to the ILO as soon as possible.

Parts II and IV.  The Committee notes with interest that statistics on average earnings covering all branches of economic activity (other than agriculture) are compiled on the basis of a six-monthly sample survey of public and private economic enterprises, which has been carried out by the National Statistics Office (ONS) since December 1991. It also notes that the results of the survey were sent to the ILO for the period 1992-96 (1998 in the case of public institutions). The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether measures have been envisaged to compile and publish: (i) statistics of hours actually worked or paid in the mining and manufacturing industries, including building and construction, in accordance with Part II of the Convention; and (ii) statistics of wages and hours of work in agriculture, in accordance with Article 22.

Part III.  The Committee notes that time rates of wages and normal hours of work are fixed by decree and that recent data are available in the report.
