Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention. Full consultations with employers’ and workers’ organizations – Socio-economic considerations for adjusting minimum wages. The Committee notes the comments of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), dated 3 and 17 July 2013, concerning the application of the Convention. The IOE expresses its great concern about the fact that the national minimum wage and the private sectorial wage have been set unilaterally by the executive power via decree since 2007. The IOE indicates that since 2006, the minimum wage has been increased by 172.2 per cent and the private sectorial wage by 58 per cent, with none of the increases determined through consultation of the representative employers’ organizations. The IOE considers that the involvement of social partners in minimum wage setting, adjustment and enforcement is vital. Moreover, the IOE points out with concern that in the Plurinational State of Bolivia economic factors, including levels of productivity, are not taken into consideration when minimum wages are set. The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in response to the observations of the IOE.
