Article 1(b) of the Convention. Equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Legislation. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on any developments in the adoption of the preliminary draft amendment to the General Labour Act of 24 May 1939 (or the Government’s proposed text for a new General Labour Act), to give full effect to the principle of the Convention, as enshrined in the 2009 Political Constitution (article 5(V)): “the State shall promote the integration of women into work and shall ensure that women receive the same remuneration as men for work of equal value, in both the public and private sectors”). The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that the Government’s proposal to reform the General Labour Act has been ready for several years. It has not been adopted due to disagreement between workers’ representatives, and the Government is awaiting a general consensus. In this respect, the Committee wishes to recall that the Convention acknowledges that employers’ and workers’ organizations must have a key role in its implementation if it is to be effective (see the 2012 General Survey on the fundamental Conventions, paragraph 655). The Committee trusts that the Government will maintain social dialogue with employers’ and workers’ organizations with a view to ensuring that the Government’s proposed text for the new General Labour Act gives full effect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, in accordance to article 48 of the Constitution and with the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Government’s proposed text for the new General Labour Act is adopted in the near future and that it gives full effect to the Convention. Meanwhile, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the proactive measures adopted to give effect to the principle, for example, regular awareness-raising campaigns and information for the general public, the promotion of clauses on equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value or the promotion of methods to measure and compare the value of different jobs.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
