Women's temporary labour in agricultural work is high

In Mauritius, women represented a very high percentage of the total labour force.

In agriculture, the proportion of women's family labour is high because it is unpaid

In spite of high level educational attainment, women remained marginalized in the labour market.

Manifestations of discrimination include high instances of child and bonded labour, unequal pay, unemployment and emotional devaluation.

These include early marriage, polygamy, illiteracy, high dower prices, inheritance customs, women's unpaid labour and so on.

231. Costs of agricultural inputs and labour are high (i.e. costs of production have steadily gone up).

The Committee welcomes the Programme to Eradicate Child Labour (PETI), however it is deeply concerned at the high rates of informal employment of children, in particular in domestic labour.

Such programmes seek to reduce poverty directly through high labour content technologies and indirectly through productivity enhancing infrastructure.

155. The Committee is worried about the high rate of school drop outs, especially among girls living in rural areas, and the high incidence of child labour.

Unemployment on the continent is extremely high and underemployment is rampant, affecting 40 per cent of the labour force.

94. The continuously high level of unemployment is largely due to a considerable expansion of the supply of labour.

352. The closures have also had very serious consequences regarding education, leading to a high incidence of child labour

Among economic factors, labour productivity based on low labour costs (for efficiency seeking investors) and high GDP growth rates (for market seeking investors) have been the most important determinants (Dasgupta and Ratha, 2000).

(b) Unskilled labour accounted for a rather high percentage among the unemployed 52.8 per cent by the end of 1993

Slovakia had a high employment rate for women, and the labour law was above the standard of many other advanced countries.

During the past few years, Oman had attained very high standards in the area of women's health, education and the labour market.

Moreover, the expansion of domestic processing activities with relatively high technological sophistication contributed to raising the overall skill level of the labour force.

Developing country processors have advantages over those in developed countries such as low labour costs, high quality and lower prices of raw materials.

Micro credit programmes and projects and programmes of high labour intensity have to be implemented to encourage people to return to their villages.

The prolonged contraction of economic activity, combined with chronically high rates of unemployment and underemployment, has discouraged investment and has consequently reduced labour productivity.

(c) A secondary labour market began to emerge as a result of the high rate of unemployment and the small number of job vacancies

Labour!

It is generally believed that in a high employment and high growth environment workers with accumulated knowledge and skills can usefully be deployed from declining industries to rising industries, leading to the optimal allocation of labour.

In contrast, in high unemployment and slow growth environment, even if workers have accumulated knowledge and skills, there may be limited labour mobility and employment.

259. According to the data gathered by ENMO 91, this high participation rate of female labour in the free trade zones had the following features

The Committee expresses its appreciation to the Government of Croatia for its high level delegation, headed by the Deputy Minister for Labour and Social Welfare.

69. The Committee welcomes the high level delegation, including the State Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic.

The main problems related to labour safety and health measures at enterprises are the high financial expenditures, the acquisition of information, the purchase of harmless technology, lack of qualified labour protection specialists, insufficient training and the availability of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Productivity can improve via growth based on high and rising rates of investment associated with rising employment, and via a one off increase in labour productivity associated with static efficiency gains resulting from labour shedding under conditions of stagnant or declining investment.

The current report on the implementation of the 1920 Convention No. 7 of the International Labour Organisation On Establishing the Minimum Age of Children upon Allowing Them to Work on High Seas and the 1973 Convention No. 138 of the International Labour Organisation On the Minimum Age for Hiring was sent to the International Labour Organisation in September 2001.

Some examples are the studies on child domestic labour in Guatemala and Peru, where a high proportion of indigenous girls was identified working under unacceptable conditions.
