Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Algeria (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Promoting and ensuring the application of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain information on the application of the Convention in practice and it once again requests it to provide information on any court decisions relating to the application of the Convention. Please also provide information on the inspections carried out by the labour inspection services and the complaints received by inspectors in relation to equality in employment and occupation, and their outcome, with an indication of the grounds of discrimination concerned. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on any measures adopted with a view to improving knowledge and understanding of the rights afforded to workers by the Convention and on any training provided to judges and labour inspectors concerning the elimination of discrimination and the promotion of equality in employment and occupation.

Statistics. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on the situation of men and women in employment in the public and private sectors, where possible by sector and occupational category, disaggregated by sex, ethnic origin and religion.
