CONVENTION
on statistics on work
The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation, convened by the Board of Directors of the International Labour Office in Geneva and met there on 7 June 1985 at its 71st session,
Decide to adopt certain proposals concerning the revision of the Convention (No 63) on wage and working time statistics, 1938, which are the fifth item on the agenda of the sitting,
Ascertains that these proposals will take the form of an international convention, adopted on 25 June 1985 this Convention, which will be referred to as the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985.
I. General provisions
Each Member State which ratifies this Convention undertakes to collect, compile and publish, on a regular basis, basic statistics on work, which shall be gradually disseminated taking into account its sources to the following areas:
(a) the economic population, employment and, where possible, unemployment and, where possible, apparent partial employment;
(b) the composition and breakdown of the economically active population in order to carry out detailed analyses and to make the initial (spring) data available;
(c) average wages and average working hours (hours actually worked or paid) and, where appropriate, wage rates and normal working hours;
(d) the composition and breakdown of wages;
(e) labour costs,
(f) indices of consumer prices,
(g) household expenditure or, where appropriate, family expenditure and, where appropriate, household income or, where appropriate, family income;
(h) accidents at work and, where possible, occupational diseases;
(i) labour disputes.
In drawing up or amending the concepts, definitions and methodologies used in the collection, compilation and publication of statistics required under this Convention, Member States are to take into account the latest standards and directives established under the auspices of the International Labour Organisation.
When developing or changing the concepts, definitions and methodologies used in the collection, compilation and publication of statistics required under this Convention, representative employers' and workers' organisations, if any, should be heard in order to take account of their needs and ensure their cooperation.
This Convention does not imply an obligation to publish or communicate data which would allow the identification of information on an individual statistical unit, such as a person, household, plant or enterprise.
Each Member State which ratifies this Convention undertakes to communicate to the International Labour Office, as soon as practicable, statistics compiled and published under the Convention and information on their publication, in particular:
(a) appropriate information on how they have been disseminated (names and reference numbers for printed publications or corresponding descriptions for data disseminated otherwise);
(b) the latest dates or periods for which different types of statistics are available and data on their publication or dissemination.
Detailed descriptions of sources, concepts, definitions and methodologies used in the collection and compilation of statistics under this Convention should be:
(a) carried out and maintained according to the last condition to show significant changes;
(b) communicated to the International Labour Office as soon as possible;
(c) published by the competent national authority.
II. Basic statistics of work
Current statistics on the economic population, employment and, where possible, unemployment and, where possible, apparent partial employment are to be compiled across the country.
Statistics on the composition and breakdown of an economically active population are to be compiled across the country so that detailed analyses can be carried out and default (source) data are available.
1. Normal statistics on average wages and working hours (hours actually worked or paid) are to be compiled for all major groups of employees and for all major sectors of economic activity and for the whole country.
2. Where appropriate, statistics should be compiled on time wage tariffs and normal working hours for significant professions or groups of professions in significant sectors of economic activity and across the country.
Statistics on the composition and breakdown of wages are to be compiled for important sectors of economic activity.
Labour cost statistics are to be compiled for important sectors of economic activity. Where possible, these statistics should be consistent with employment and working time data (hours actually worked or paid) to the same extent.
Consumer price indices will be calculated in order to measure the time changes in the prices of items representative of the consumer practices of the major population groups or of the entire population.
Statistics on household expenditure or, where appropriate, family expenditure and, where possible, household income or, where appropriate, family income are to be compiled for all groups and sizes of private households or families and for the whole country.
1. The statistics on accidents at work are to be compiled across the country and, if possible, for all sectors of economic activity.
2. Where possible, statistics on occupational diseases should be compiled for all sectors of economic activity and for the whole country.
Labour dispute statistics are to be compiled for the whole country and, if possible, for all sectors of economic activity.
