Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Convention concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work, 1938 (No. 63) - Cuba (Ratification: 1954)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement in the report that the National Office of Statistics (Oficina Nacional de Estad¡sticas, ONE) continues to improve the existing statistical system. It notes that it appears, from information available in the ILO, that two major sources of statistics (the annual reports submitted by economic units in the formal sector and the half-yearly labour force survey (Encuesta Nacional de Ocupaci¢n, ENO)) may be used to compile all or part of the information required by the Convention.

The Committee asks the Government to publish the relevant statistics and to communicate the data compiled to the ILO at the earliest possible date, in pursuance of the requirements of Article 1(b) and (c) of the Convention.

The Committee also notes the Government's indication that the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), has been listed at the Treaties Coordination Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Relations with a view to considering its possible ratification. It would be grateful for information on the progress made in this regard.
