Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

Convention (n° 100) sur l'égalité de rémunération, 1951 - Australie (Ratification: 1974)

Referring to its previous observation, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the New South Wales Industrial Arbitration Act, 1940 (which provided for the declaration of a male basic wage and a female basic wage) has been repealed and replaced by the Industrial Relations Act, 1991, which came into force on 31 March 1992. Section 13 of the new legislation provides for the setting of an "adult basic wage", without differentiation on the basis of sex.
