Which of the following statements are true relating to payment of equal pay for equal work both for men and women ? a. ILO adopted equal remuneration convention No 100 in 1951 b. India ratified ILO’s Equal Remuneration Convention 100 in the year 1956 c. Provisions relating to equal pay for equal work for both men and women are provided under Article 42 of the Indian Constitution d. The Equal Remuneration Ordinance was promulgated on 26th September, 1975
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The ILO adopted the Equal Remuneration Convention (No. 100) in 1951 (a is true), and the President of India promulgated the Equal Remuneration Ordinance on 26 September 1975 during the International Women's Year (d is true). India ratified Convention No. 100 in September 1958 (not 1956, so b is false), and the constitutional directive for equal pay for equal work is enshrined in Article 39(d) rather than Article 42 (so c is false).
