Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

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

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

Article 1(b) and (c) of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's report that statistics of average wages and hours of work are available for 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984. Please indicate whether these statistics have been published. The Committee hopes that the Government will communicate the data that have been compiled to the Office at the earliest possible date, as provided for in this Article. Part II, Articles 8 and 12 and Part IV. The Committee notes that the methods employed for the "employment and wages" survey are once again being reconsidered, in view of the coming into force of the texts issued by the SGT. The Committee hopes that the Government will communicate the necessary information in this respect with its next report, and that it will indicate the impact that the new methods may have on the data that are compiled. Part III. The Committee notes that the Government decided to supplement its statistics with information concerning hours of work and wage rates as established by the regulations in force. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will adopt the necessary measures in the near future to give effect to the provisions of Articles 13 to 23 of the Convention.

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