Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the National Tripartite Committee (NTC), which establishes the national daily minimum wage on an annual basis, takes into consideration factors such as fiscal measures, the cost of living and productivity levels. The Committee also notes that the current national minimum wage, which took effect in February 2012, is set at 4.48 Ghanaian cedis (GHS) (approximately US$2.37) per day and it represents a 20 per cent increase compared to the 2011 minimum wage rate. The Committee requests the Government to transmit a copy of the regulatory instrument fixing the current national minimum wage and also to provide more detailed information on the criteria (social, economic or other) that the NTC and its technical subcommittee are using in reviewing and readjusting the national minimum wage.
Article 5 and Part V of the report form. Practical application. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide all available information on the application of the Convention in practice, including for instance, the approximate number of workers covered by the Convention, statistics on the evolution of the minimum wages in recent years as compared to the evolution of economic indicators, such as the inflation rate, in the same period, inspection results showing the number of visits carried out, violations of the minimum wage legislation observed and sanctions imposed, and copies of official reports, such as activity reports of the NTC or surveys of national economic conditions used as a basis for its deliberations.
