Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos, 1928 (núm. 26) - China (Ratificación : 1930)

The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report. It notes in particular that, according to this report, as of 1996, a minimum wage fixing system has been established and maintained in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central Government, except for the Tibetan Autonomous Region. Sixteen provinces and municipalities adjusted and increased their minimum wage rates. Minimum wage study, fixing, review and implementation are carried out on the basis of tripartite consultations. No case of violation by enterprises of minimum wage rates has been found in the labour dispute petitions handled by arbitration organs.

The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide, in accordance with Article 5, in conjunction with point V of the report form, general information on the application of the Convention in practice in the country, including its application in the Tibetan Autonomous Region relating to: (i) the minimum wage rates in force; (ii) the available data on the number and different categories of workers covered by minimum wage provisions; and (iii) the results of inspections carried out (e.g. the number of violations of minimum wage provisions, the penalties imposed, etc.).
