The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. Noting the adoption of the new Constitution of 2015, the Committee hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the specific issues raised in relation to the Constitution of 2015, as well as other matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 1(b) of the Convention. Equal remuneration for work of equal value. Legislation. The Committee recalls that article 13(4) of the interim Constitution and Rule No. 11 of the Labour Regulations, 1993, are narrower than the principle of the Convention, as they do not encompass the concept of “work of equal value”. In this regard, the Committee understands that the process of developing the permanent Constitution and the labour legislation review are still under way. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that determining the value of work is a technical process, and thus it requests ILO technical assistance in this regard. In the context of the present legislative reform process, the Committee urges the Government to ensure that full legislative expression is given to the principle of Convention, providing equal remuneration for men and women for not only the same work or work of the same nature, but also for work of an entirely different nature but which is nevertheless of equal value, and to provide information of progress made in this regard. Noting the Government’s request for ILO technical assistance in determining the value of work, the Committee hopes that such assistance can be provided in the near future, and asks the Government for information on the steps taken to secure such assistance.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
