A woman's
right to work is enshrined in national legislation, both in the private sector
than in the public. The legal texts governing the sector pledging equal rights
between men and women.
The article
11 of the General Statute of State employees, local authorities and public
institutions, it pledging equal access to public employment and it prohibits
discrimination. This principle was indicated both in terms of assumptions in
terms of career development and compensation.
Same thing
is enshrined in the private sector and in collective agreements.
With the
law of 17 February 2000 were repealed some articles of the Code of Obligations
and Contracts resolved to provisions that require the consent of the husband
for the work of his wife.
The monthly
wage in the private sector is about 557 dinars. Bonuses and overtime represent
14% of salary.
These data
were observed through a survey conducted in April 2011 by the Center for
Research and Social Studies under the Ministry of Social Affairs.
Another information that emerges from this survey is that
63% of workers in the private sector are male, while 37% are female.
This data, in itself is
disconcerting, it is compounded by the fact that the average net salary of men
is 29% higher than that of women.
Salaries in
the private sector increases with the level of education received.
In the
agricultural sector, workers' salaries are in line with that of workers in the
same category, but results in a 15% lower for the remuneration of the female
workforce, thus abrogating the establishment of a minimum salary in this
sector.
The debate
on inequalities between men and women is also apparent in the employment
sector, where women are being penalized with low salaries, less responsibility
and more discrimination.
The
situation that emerges in Tunisia appears to be paradoxical, as the average of
the girls with a school career of the most successful it is higher than that of
males, but women have more difficulties to enter the world of work than men.
To pledge
the full enjoyment of women's right to pay without discrimination, the Tunisian
legislation has planned inspections to check the correct application of labor
relations organizational legal, regulatory and contractual.
