Convenio sobre igualdad de remuneración, 1951 (núm. 100) - México (Ratificación : 1952)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Objective job evaluation. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain specific information on the adoption of methods for the objective evaluation of jobs. The Committee recalls that the objective job evaluation is important to give effect to the principle of “equal remuneration for work of equal value” and that, as occupational sex segregation continues to be prevalent, it is fundamental to ensure that the scope of comparison is broad so that the principle of equal remuneration can be applied (General Survey on the fundamental Conventions, 2012, paragraph 697). Such evaluation has a measurable impact on the gender pay gap. With a view to making progress towards the full application of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether measures are being adopted with a view to establishing a system for the objective job evaluation in the public sector and to promote its adoption in the private sector.

Application in practice. The Committee notes the detailed information provided concerning the programmes, policies and measures adopted in the context of the programme “Taking steps towards equality at work”, including the Gender Equity Model (MEG), through which certificates are granted to private companies which comply with the established requirements to achieve gender equality and reduce occupational segregation. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on such measures, and particularly on their impact in practice on the reduction of the gender pay gap and of occupational sex segregation.
