Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1960)

Referring to its earlier comments, the Committee has taken note of the information supplied by the Government and has noted in particular the adoption of Decree No. 89-006 of 11 January 1989 which fixes minimum starting and seniority wages by occupational category. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would communicate the text of this Decree.

The Committee has also noted the new minimum wage rate as well as the number of workers subject to the regulation concerning the fixing of minimum wages. It hopes that, despite the difficulties mentioned in the report, the Government will continue to be able to communicate such information as laid down in Article 5 of the Convention, as well as general indications on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice (giving, for example, the number of violations reported, the sanctions imposed, etc.) as requested in the report form under point V.
