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

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government concerning measures that have been adopted to increase wages, particularly in the economic sectors in which most of the jobs are filled by women.

It also notes that under section 33 of the Constitution of the Byelorussian SSR, men and women have the same rights; under section 38 the State pays wages in accordance with the quantity and quality of the work performed; and by virtue of section 77 of the Labour Code any reduction in remuneration on grounds of sex is prohibited. As the Committee observed in paragraph 58 of its 1986 General Survey on Equal Remuneration, only work of the same kind can be measured comparatively by the standards of quantity and quality. The Committee also recalls the indications supplied previously by the Government on the centralised system of job classification and the determination of wages. In order to enable the Committee to assess how effect is given to the principle set out in the Convention when men and women in practice perform work of a different nature but which may be of equal value, the Committee requests the Government to supply with its next report additional details on the way in which the specific nature of the branch, the skill level and the nature of the work performed are reflected in wages, and particularly on any job-appraisal system adopted for this purpose and the practical impact of its adoption and development, and any eventual modifications to it, on the implementation of the principle set out in the Convention.
