1. The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in its report in reply to its previous direct request.

2. The Committee also notes certain data contained in the publication Las Mujeres Latino-Americanas en Cifras published by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO) in 1993, which illustrate that, according to the data in the Permanent Household Survey for 1989, when they were employed by other persons, women in urban areas earned 74 per cent of the earnings of employed men, 65 per cent when they were in self-employment and 53.8 per cent in domestic employment.

In this respect, the Committee requests the Government to provide the most recent statistical data available, disaggregated by sex, and to transmit its comments on this information.
