Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2011, Publicación: 101ª reunión CIT (2012)

Convenio sobre estadísticas de salarios y horas de trabajo, 1938 (núm. 63) - Kenya (Ratificación : 1964)

The Committee notes the Government’s report which was received at the ILO on 30 September 2010.

Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. Compilation, publication and communication to the ILO of statistics on wages and hours of work. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that no statistics on average earnings, hours actually worked, minimum time rates of wages, or any other statistical publication had been received in the ILO since 1997. The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report regarding the average annual earnings for the period 1997–2009 and requests the Government to provide the corresponding methodological information, together with any publication containing statistics on this topic.

The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the steps taken or envisaged in order to resume the collection, compilation, publication and communication to the ILO of regular statistics on hours of work. In this regard, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to Resolution I adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians concerning the measurement of working time. This document defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics and can be accessed at the following link: http://www.ilo.org/global/What_we_do/Statistics/standards/resolutions/lang--en/ docName--WCMS_112455/index.htm.

The Committee once again recalls that the Government may avail itself of ILO technical assistance and once again encourages the Government to send an official request for assistance delineating precise objectives (either in the field of labour statistics or in the field of labour administration) to the ILO Offices in Addis Ababa or Dar es Salaam and, where relevant, to the ILO Department of Statistics in Geneva.
