Part III of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living and other objectives of the social policy. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government of the British Virgin Islands in August 2012, as in its previous report, indicating that labour inspectors, who have been active in inspecting the application of this Convention, have found no contraventions. It also notes that the report does not contain information on the issues raised in the 2011 direct request. The Committee once again asks the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on the economic and social development of the British Virgin Islands, including updated data illustrating that the improvement of standards of living has been regarded as the principal objective in the planning of economic development. Please also provide information on the measures relating to minimum wages (Article 14(2)–(4) of the Convention), protection of wages (Articles 15(1)–(6), and 16), and education and training (Article 19(2)–(3)).
[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
