Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

Convention (n° 26) sur les méthodes de fixation des salaires minima, 1928 - Chine - Région administrative spéciale de Macao (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes with interest the first report provided by the Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the attached documentation. It notes the Government’s commitment to give full effect to the Convention in the very near future, while noting the point of view expressed in the report that Macau is not a needy area compared with other territories, especially in view of the high level of GDP per capita. The Committee notes with interest the existence of a bill, currently under discussion by the Standing Committee for Social Dialogue, to revise the labour legislation in the Macau SAR and mentioning the fixing of minimum wages in sectors of activity in which it may appear appropriate. The Committee requests the Government of the Macau SAR to keep the ILO informed of any development in relation to the above bill and to provide a copy of the text once it has been adopted. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on any other measure adopted for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention and hopes that the Government will be in a position in its next report to indicate the progress achieved in this respect. The Committee also calls the Government’s attention to the fact that it may, if it considers it necessary, request the technical assistance of the Office for the development and implementation of the legal framework governing the fixing of minimum wages.
