The Committee notes the Government's report, including the comment from the Barbados Sugar Industry Limited concerning the Committee's previous observation on the application in the sugar industry of Convention No. 100 on equal remuneration between men and women. The Committee will take up the Sugar Industry's comment at its next session when the Government's report on Convention No. 100 will be due for examination.
The Committee recalls that, following the Government's earlier indication on the unlikely prospect of adoption of the Employment and Related Provisions Bill, prepared in 1978 in order to give effect to the Convention, the Committee has requested information on measures taken, including any legislative provisions adopted, to apply the Government's declared policy of non-discrimination against women and to prohibit discrimination in employment and occupation in accordance with the Convention. The Committee trusts that the Government will be able in its next report to indicate further progress in this field.
