Employment policy. The Committee notes that the Report of Recommendations towards an Employment Policy is still under review. Recalling that the Government previously indicated that the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value would be incorporated in the Employment Policy, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on any further developments in this regard and to provide a copy of the Policy once it has been adopted.

Objective job evaluation. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government concerning the ongoing efforts to undertake a job evaluation exercise in the civil service. It notes that a consultant is currently reviewing the job evaluation exercise, which was halted in 2006, with a view to guiding the way forward. The Committee asks the Government to ensure that the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value is fully taken into account in this process and to continue to provide information on the measures taken in this regard, as well as on the outcome of the pending job evaluation exercise. Please also provide information on any progress made in promoting objective job evaluation in the private sector, including through carrying out the survey on equal pay for work of equal value to which the Government referred previously.
