Parts I–IV of the Convention. Statistics relating to wages and hours of work. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report concerning the basis for the average wage index (IMS), the online publication of the index series of hours worked by wage earners in manufacturing and minimum wages. The Government adds that it is considering making a change in 2018 to the basis for the IMS. The Committee requests that the Government continue providing the statistics required on the subjects covered by Parts II–IV of the Convention.

The Committee notes the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and the corresponding decision of the Governing Body at its 328th Session in October–November 2016 (GB.328/LILS/2/1) calling upon the Office to commence follow-up with member States that are still bound by the Convention, encouraging them to ratify the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), as the most up-to-date instrument in this area, and resulting in the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 63. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regards.
