Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1992, Publicación: 79ª reunión CIT (1992)

The Committee notes the information and statistics supplied by the Government in reply to its previous direct request.

1. The Committee refers to the Government's previous statements concerning the legislative and practical measures that it envisaged taking with a view to facilitating the integration of women into active life (in accordance with the Constitution). In the absence of new information from the Government in this connection, the Committee once again requests details on the results obtained.

The Committee notes that, according to the statistics supplied by the Government, the proportions of girls in vocational training establishments and of women in the various sectors are very much lower than those of the male workforce. They were respectively in the order of 24.3 per cent and 9 per cent in 1987 (in 1989, women accounted for 8.5 per cent of employed persons). The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures that have been taken or are envisaged (for example, through positive measures in favour of women) to promote the vocational training and employment of women in such a way as to correct the existing imbalance between men and women.

2. The Committee recalls its previous request for information on the implementation of provisions concerning training and further training abroad (Decree No. 87-209, of 8 September 1987, and Ministerial Order of 1 August 1988), on the number and sex of the persons (students and workers) who have received such training, and for a copy of the report of the Council for Planning and Guidance in Training and Further Training. The Government states that it has not yet received the report but that it will transmit it as soon as it has been received. The Committee hopes to receive the report in the near future together with the information referred to above.
