Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the observations from the Union of Commercial On-Board Staff of AIR MADAGASCAR sent to the Government by letters of 23 January and 4 March 1996. These observations concern the unequal remuneration arising from the difference in the age of retirement between male and female on-board staff, which is set at 50 years for men and 45 years for women by regulation 12 of the 1994 Regulations respecting the conditions of work and remuneration of AIR MADAGASCAR commercial on-board staff. The Committee hopes that the Government will send its comments on the issues raised in the observations so that it may examine them at its next session. The Committee is addressing a direct request to the Government concerning other points.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
