Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Application in law of the principle of equal remuneration between men and women for work of equal value. The Committee refers to its previous observation in which it noted with regret that the new Labour Code (Act No. 09.004), because it limited equal wages to jobs involving “equal working conditions, skills and output”, did not give full effect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. It had therefore asked the Government to amend the relevant provisions of the Labour Code. Noting that the Government’s report does not contain any information on measures envisaged or taken in this respect, the Committee asks the Government once again to take the necessary steps to amend sections 10 and 222 of Act No. 09.004 issuing the Labour Code so as to provide explicitly for equal remuneration between men and women for work of equal value, and to provide information on any measures taken to this end.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
