Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Employment policy. Recalling the Government’s previous indication that the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value would be addressed by the Decent Work Policy and Programme of Action, which was being drafted, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on any developments in this regard and to provide a copy of the Policy and Programme once they have been adopted.

Article 3. Objective job evaluation. The Committee recalls that the concept of “work of equal value” set out in the Convention requires some method of measuring and comparing the relative value of different jobs through an examination of the respective tasks involved on the basis of entirely objective and non-discriminatory criteria to avoid the assessment being tainted by gender bias. It further recalls that while the Convention does not prescribe any specific method for such an examination, Article 3 presupposes the use of appropriate techniques for objective job evaluation, comparing factors such as skill, effort, responsibilities and working conditions (see General Survey on the fundamental Conventions, 2012, paragraph 695). Noting that once again no information has been provided by the Government on this point, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to promote objective job evaluation on the basis of the work to be performed in the public and private sectors.
