The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending 31 May 2001. It draws its attention to the following points.
Article 8 of the Convention. Noting that the web site indicated by the Government as containing information on the results of the 1993 census does not appear to provide data on the active population classified by occupational group and status in employment, as advocated by Paragraph 2(2) of the Labour Statistics Recommendation, 1985 (No. 170), the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide, as indicated in the report, the CD containing the description of the methodology used for the 1993 population census.
Article 10. Noting the statistics on the distribution of employees by earnings level as a function of other characteristics, as published in the Encuesta Nacional de las Hogares, the Committee once again asks the Government to indicate the measures adopted or envisaged for the collection, compilation and publication of statistics on the structure and distribution of earnings (basic pay, premium pay for overtime, remuneration for time not worked and bonuses and gratuities) and of hours of work (hours actually worked or hours paid for), in accordance with the guidance provided in Paragraph 5(2)(b) of Recommendation No. 170.
Article 11. The Committee once again asks the Government to indicate the measures envisaged to extend the concept of compensation of employees to the full measurement of labour costs, to compile and publish statistics on the level and structure of labour costs and to extend the coverage of these statistics to other important branches of economic activity.
Article 13. The Committee notes that the Government has not, as it indicated it would, attached to its report the disk containing the principal results of the 1995 survey of income and household expenditure. It would be grateful if it would supply the above disk.
Article 14. The Committee notes the information concerning the compilation of statistics by the General Directorate of Occupational Health and Employment Risks of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and concerning the statistics contained in the "1999 Statistical Bulletin" published by the Social Insurance Institute, Subdirectorate of Health Services. Also noting the development by the Ministry of a statistical system for the collection, compilation and analysis of data on employment, labour and social security, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether, as envisaged, it has been possible to correct the deficiencies in the current statistics through the implementation of the above system.
The Committee also asks the Government to communicate the statistics concerned (Article 5) regularly to the ILO, including for the period 1996 to 1998, and to indicate any publication containing a description of the statistical methodology (Article 6).
Article 15. Noting that the Ministry of Labour and Social Security does not have information on hours not worked or on the duration of work stoppages, but observing that it collects data on the number of events recorded as strikes or lockouts, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would, firstly, keep the ILO informed of any project relating to the collection of information on hours not worked and on hours of work and, secondly, communicate regularly statistics on strikes.
