Vocational training. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the Skill Development and Training Directorate of the Ministry of Labour and Transportation continued to provide vocational and skills training through its fourteen training centres. According to the report, trades such as hairdressing, sewing and cutting are emphasized for women. The Economic Survey for the fiscal year 2006–07 published by the Ministry of Finance indicates that 20,586 persons were trained, as compared to 17,528 in 2005–06. The Committee requests the Government to ensure that both men and women have equal access to training in the broadest range of areas, without discrimination based on sex. It requests the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that men and women from all groups of the population and in all regions have access to vocational and skills training. Please also provide statistical information, disaggregated by sex, on the number of persons that have participated in the various training programmes.

Enforcement. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s intention to collect and classify decisions of the labour offices and the labour courts. Noting that the collection, analysis and dissemination of information regarding cases of discrimination in employment and occupation is crucial to raising awareness of the legislation and to assessing its effectiveness, the Committee requests the Government to indicate any further developments that may have occurred in this regard. Please also provide information on any decision relating to discrimination in employment and occupation identified and addressed by the competent authorities.
