Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

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

1. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the Togolese administration currently employs 34,246 public servants, of which 7,243 are women. It would be grateful if the Government would supply more detailed statistics in future reports on the numbers employed by the public administration and public enterprises, with an indication of the distribution of men and women at the different levels, and information on the measures that have been taken or are envisaged to facilitate the access of women, particularly to the various jobs in the public sector, including those traditionally reserved for men.

2. The Committee notes that the report contains no reply to the other points made in its previous comments and hopes that the Government will be able to supply the necessary information in its next report on the following points:

(a) the Committee notes the Government's statement that race is implicitly included among the grounds of discrimination enumerated in national regulations. The Committee once again hopes that the Government will take the appropriate measures, in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention, to include "race" among the grounds of discrimination set out explicitly in the national legislation in a forthcoming revision of the legislation;

(b) the Government indicates that the computerization of the management of the employment services, which is the only means of obtaining the information that is requested, is currently under way. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will be able to supply in its next report the information requested on the activities of the ministries and departments concerned with: (a) access to vocational training; (b) access to employment and the various occupations; and (c) conditions of work (in accordance with Articles 2 and 3), and statistics by sex concerning access to training and to the various jobs and occupations.
