The Committee notes the Government’s report received in July 2014, in which it is indicated that the National Statistics and Information Office (ONEI) is currently developing the survey on wage rates and normal hours of work and earnings and hours actually worked and paid. The Government indicates that the ratification of the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), is not currently envisaged.

Statistics disaggregated by sex and age. Wage indices. In its 2010 direct request, the Committee observed that annual statistics were being compiled on average monthly earnings covering all employed persons (workers and employees) in all branches of economic activity (including agriculture, mining and manufacturing, building and construction), in public and mixed enterprises in the formal sector, based on the annual reports provided by economic units in the formal sector (Article 5 and 22 of the Convention). The Committee notes that the ONEI publishes on its website annual statistics on average monthly wages, drawn from the National Employment Survey, for the total of all economic activities, and in particular for each of them, including the categories of agriculture, stockbreeding, forestry and fishing, mining and quarrying, and manufacturing. Nevertheless, statistics are not available disaggregated by sex, age (distinguishing between young persons and adults), or any other characteristics of employed persons (Article 10(2)), and index numbers of wages are not compiled (Article 12). The Committee invites the Government to continue providing statistics regularly to the ILO on the subjects covered by Parts II, III and IV of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position in its next report to identify the measures adopted to ensure the availability of statistics disaggregated by sex and age (drawing a distinction between young persons and adults) (Article 10(2)) and confirm that the index numbers of earnings required by Article 12 have been established. The Committee also recalls that statistics are required on time rates of wages and of normal hours of work and that, under the terms of Article 15 of the Convention, such statistics shall be provided separately for the principal occupations at intervals of not more than three years (Part III of the Convention).

Hours of work. Methodological information. In its previous direct request, the Committee asked the Government to take measures to ensure that statistics are compiled on hours actually worked (Parts II and IV) and time rates of wages and of normal hours of work (Part III). The Committee notes that the ONEI provided the ILO Statistics Department with statistics on hours actually worked for 2009 and 2010, drawn from the National Employment Survey, disaggregated by economic activity (including the categories of agriculture, stockbreeding, forestry and fishing, mining and quarrying, and manufacturing). Nevertheless, the Office has still not been provided with such statistics for later years, nor statistics disaggregated by sex or separately for young persons and adults. The Committee once again recalls that, under the terms of Article 10(2) of the Convention, once every three years and where possible at shorter intervals, the statistics of hours actually worked shall be supplemented by separate figures for each sex and for adults and juveniles. The Committee therefore invites the Government to provide the Office with methodological information relating to working time (the concept of “hours actually worked”).
