Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

Convention concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work, 1938 (No. 63) - United Republic of Tanzania (Ratification: 1962)

Tanganyika Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Employment and Earnings Survey for 1982 and other publications which were, according to the Government's report, issued by the Bureau of Statistics, have not been received by the ILO. It hopes that copies of these publications will be communicated to the ILO in the very near future.

Part II. The Committee notes with interest from the Government's report that, with the assistance of the ILO, a unit dealing with labour statistics has been established in the Labour Division of the Ministry of Labour and Manpower Development, and that it is hoped that in the near future this unit will be in a position to collect, compile and analyse the information called for by Part II, which was excluded from acceptance when the Convention was ratified. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report that further progress has been achieved with a view to the application of this Part.

Part III. The Committee notes that the Government's report does not fully reply to the points raised in its previous comments. It hopes that the Government will supply a copy of Government Notice No. 152 of 1972 to which reference was made in the report, as well as the publications mentioned under Article 1 above. It does not appear from the information in the report, however, that the kind of statistics called for in this Part of the Convention are now available.

Zanzibar

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report contains no information concerning the application of the Convention in Zanzibar. It once again expresses the hope that the Government will provide such information in its next report. It understands in this connection that assistance being provided is likely to result also in improvements in the collection and compilation of labour statistics in Zanzibar.
