E/C.12/BLR/CO/4-6 disaggregated indicators to monitor its implementation as a durable solution to enable refugees to fully enjoy the rights enshrined in the Covenant. 11. The Committee expresses its concern at the entrenched gender role stereotypes in the family and society and their negative impact on the enjoyment by women of their economic, social and cultural rights, despite the steps taken by the State party to promote gender equality, including the establishment of the National Council on Gender Policy and the adoption of the National Plan of Action for Gender Equality for 2011-2015. The Committee is further concerned at the low representation of women in high-ranking positions in State administration and the judiciary and at gender inequalities in the fields of education and employment (art. 3) The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Effectively implement and enforce the existing relevant legal and policy frameworks on gender equality and step up its efforts to change society’s perception of gender roles, including through awareness-raising campaigns and educating men and women about equal career opportunities as a result of education and training in fields other than those traditionally dominated by either sex; (b) Ensure equal representation of women in decision-making positions in State administration and the judiciary within specific time frames, including through temporary special measures. In this regard, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 16 (2005) on the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights. 12. The Committee is concerned about the persistent wage gap between women and men, the average gender wage gap being as high as 25 per cent (arts. 3 and 7). The Committee recommends that the State party take steps to eliminate the persistent gender pay gap, in accordance with articles 3 and 7 of the Covenant, by combating vertical and horizontal segregation in employment that results in women occupying lower paid jobs and facing obstacles in the enjoyment of career opportunities on an equal footing with men. 13. The Committee is concerned that young persons continue to be disproportionately affected by unemployment, despite the very low rate of unemployment in the State party (art. 6). The Committee recommends that the State party take specifically targeted measures aimed at reducing youth unemployment, including by addressing mismatches between education and labour markets through enhanced quality of technical and vocational training and education. In this regard, the Committee refers the State party to its general comment No. 18 (2005) on the right to work. 14. The Committee is concerned that short-term/fixed-term employment contracts are used in all sectors of the economy and that, as a consequence, discretion is given to employers to either conclude a contract of indefinite duration after five years of service, or to sign a new contract with the worker or even to dismiss him/her once the fixed-term contract has ended. The Committee is further concerned that such employment contracts create job insecurity among workers, exposing them to uncertainty about their work-related incomes and to the threat of arbitrary non-renewal of their contracts with a serious negative impact on the enjoyment of all their labour rights (arts. 6-8). The Committee requests the State party to ensure that it generates decent work opportunities with adequate protection of workers with a view to respecting their labour rights set out in articles 6-8 of the Covenant. In this respect, the Committee recommends that the State party review the current regime of fixed-term/short-term 4
