Labour Statistics
Labour Statistics : ILO Convention No. 160 (1985) aims to collect, compile and publish basic labour statistics. The ratifying State undertakes to publish labour statistics regularly. The subjects to be covered progressively include: (1) the economically active population, employment, unemployment, underemployment; (2) structure and distribution of the economically active population; (3) average earnings, wage rates, hours of work; (4) wages; (5) labour costs; (6) consumer price indices; (7) household or family expenditure, and income; (8) occupational injuries and diseases; (9) industrial disputes. Various provisions, which are of a more technical nature, specify the obligations in respect of each of these areas. However, each ratifying ILO Member State can undertake such obligations gradually and with a great deal of flexibility. The Convention provides for close cooperation with the ILO, and with representative organizations of employers and workers
