The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 55
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States parties should identify indicators and benchmarks to monitor the implementation of the right to just and favourable conditions of work. Such indicators and benchmarks should address the different elements of the right to just and favourable conditions of work, be disaggregated by sex and other relevant grounds such as age, disability, nationality and urban/rural location, and cover all persons under the territorial jurisdiction of the State party or under its control. States parties should define the indicators that are most relevant to national implementation of the right, such as the incidence of occupational accidents; the ratio of women's wages to men's wages; the proportion of women and other underrepresented individuals in high-level positions; the proportion of workers offered continuing job training; the number of complaints of harassment received and resolved; the minimum standards for rest, leisure, hours of work and paid annual leave; and the uptake of measures to reconcile professional and family life by women and men. In selecting indicators, the Committee invites States parties to take into account available guidance, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) lists of illustrative indicators with respect to articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant and ILO indicators.
