Convenio sobre estadísticas de salarios y horas de trabajo, 1938 (núm. 63) - Chile (Ratificación : 1957)

The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government, particularly regarding the new Integrated Basic System of Wages Statistics which will be put into operation as from 1992.

Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes with interest that the sample frame for enterprises in the construction industry has been improved by covering enterprises with 50 (instead of 100) or more workers.

In its earlier comments, the Committee requested the Government to take measures to include in statistics of average earnings and hours actually worked, workers employed under the Minimum Employment Programmes (PEM), which cannot be considered to be a programme of unemployment assistance. In this connection, the Committee notes the Government's indication that the PEM ceased to exist at the end of 1988.

The Committee is also addressing a direct request to the Government regarding certain points.
