Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes with interest the statistical data on the number of women who attended the first agricultural vocational training course and the number of women selected for the next course for farmers and stockbreeders. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on any measures taken to encourage the access of women to occupational training and employment on an equal footing with men. If possible, it would appreciate information on the proportion of women in the active population and their distribution by sectors of activity and levels of qualification.

2. The Committee notes the Government's statement that in the public service there are no posts reserved for one or other of the sexes. The Committee asks the Government to provide statistics on the number of women employed in the public administration (including women in posts of responsibility) and on their proportion in relation to men.

3. The Committee notes the Government's indication that the project to create an advisory committee of directors of enterprises has been followed by the creation of a Chamber of Commerce, but that no concrete measures have yet been taken in this respect. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to provide information in its future reports on the measures taken to ensure the cooperation of employers and their organizations in applying the policy of equality of opportunity and treatment provided for in the Convention.
