Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2002, publiée 91ème session CIT (2003)

Convention (n° 100) sur l'égalité de rémunération, 1951 - République centrafricaine (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes the brief information contained in the Government’s report.

1. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that remuneration for the public service is determined in accordance with section 96 of the Labour Code, which also applies to workers in the private sector not covered by collective agreements. It notes the statement that the same wage rates are applicable to men and women workers employed in equal and similar posts. The Committee understands that the Ministry of the Public Service, Employment and Training has, by Order No. 242/MEFPFP/CAB/SG of 25 May 1999, appointed a technical committee to revise Act No. 61/221 of 6 June 1961 issuing the Labour Code and it hopes that the revision will ensure the full application of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women workers for work of equal value, as set out in the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide information with its next report on the progress made in the adoption of the new legislation and to supply copies of it when it has been enacted.

2. The Committee reiterates its earlier request to the Government to provide detailed information on the public service classification system, copies of negotiated collective agreements, minimum wages and detailed information respecting labour inspection activities relating to the application of the Convention, as well as information on any measures adopted or envisaged to improve the skill levels of women and their access to decision-making positions.
