Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

Convention (n° 100) sur l'égalité de rémunération, 1951 - République dominicaine (Ratification: 1953)

1.  Having noted that the wage gap in export free zones (RD$3,624.00 for men and RD$2,590.30 for women) is due to the fact that men hold higher positions than women, the Committee - as it already stated in its comments concerning Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - wishes to be kept informed regarding the development of training activities in export free zones to allow women access to better qualified employment and regarding reductions in the wage gap, which is due to differences in qualifications.

2.  Please supply information on the existing collaboration with the relevant employers’ and workers’ organizations in the application of the provisions of the Convention. Please also indicate if this collaboration exists in export free zones and specify the forms that it has taken.
