Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

The Committee notes 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:

The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Decision No. 91-004/AT of 17 January 1991 respecting equal remuneration and equality between women and men workers, and of Decision No. 91-026/AT of 18 January 1992 respecting further vocational training. It also notes the statistics on the number and type of vocational training courses organized in 1991 and, in this connection, the Government's indication that sex, ethnic extraction and religion are not criteria which are taken into account in statistics. It also notes that statistical data on the distribution of jobs are not at present available and will be transmitted as soon as possible.

The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to supply in its future reports detailed information on the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to promote the effective application of the principle of non-discrimination laid down in the Convention and the above legislation, particularly with regard to access to training and employment. With reference to paragraph 247 of its 1988 General Survey on Equality in Employment and Occupation, it once again requests the Government to endeavour to compile, with the collaboration of employers' and workers' organizations and any appropriate body, information, and particularly statistics, which makes it possible to gain a better view of the situation of women in respect of training and employment, and to supply with its future reports information on the number of women employed in the public and private sectors and the number of women participating in vocational training courses, as well as the positive measures taken to facilitate the access of women to training and employment, particularly in occupations which are traditionally reserved for men.
