Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Gender wage gap. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to send up-to-date statistical information on the remuneration paid to men and women in the public and the private sectors. The Committee notes that according to the information from the National Statistics Institute (INE), in 2013, the wages of women were 771.72 Bolivianos (BOB) lower than that of men, while in 2014 the differential fell to BOB658.34 and the minimum wage for that period was BOB1,440. To enable it to ascertain the wage gap in the country and follow developments in wage differentials, the Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date statistical information on the remuneration received by men and women in the public and the private sectors, disaggregated by sex and by sector of activity. The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the specific measures taken to reduce the wage gap and on the results obtained.
Article 3. Objective job evaluation. Recalling that the concept of “equal value” requires a method for measuring and comparing the relative value of different jobs, the Committee requests the Government to report on the measures taken or envisaged to promote the adoption of a method for the objective evaluation of jobs, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention.
Monitoring application. The Committee notes that in its report the Government indicates that the Labour Complaints Monitoring System has received no complaints of wage discrimination but that suitable mechanisms are to be devised for reporting and following up any instances of discrimination in remuneration. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures adopted to establish suitable mechanisms for reporting cases of wage discrimination, the number of any such complaints filed and the action taken in this regard.
