Convenio sobre igualdad de remuneración, 1951 (núm. 100) - Congo (Ratificación : 1999)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 1 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee asks the Government to bring section 80 of the Labour Code into conformity with the Convention in due course and to provide information in this respect.

Article 2. In order to have a clearer picture of the application of the Convention, the Committee invites the Government to supply statistics on the public sector and, if possible, the private sector, indicating the numbers of women and men working in them, their occupational classification and their remuneration. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the sectors in which women or men predominate and the wages paid in these sectors.

Article 4. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations is excellent and that this is visible within the tripartite bodies and the various consultations held in the administration. The Committee asks the Government to supply information on the existence of any consultations designed to promote equal remuneration for work of equal value, for example by means of seminars on the Convention, tripartite activities to promote equality and collective bargaining. The Committee also asks the Government to supply information on the representation of women in the trade unions.
