DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

Principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Constitution. Noting that the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value is not expressly incorporated in the labour legislation, and recalling that in its general observation of 2006 the Committee urged governments to take the necessary steps to amend their legislation so as to give legal expression to the principle of the Convention, the Committee notes with satisfaction that under article 48(V) of the new Constitution promulgated on 7 February 2009, “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 spheres”. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on steps taken under this constitutional provision, including with respect to the incorporation of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value in the labour legislation.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
