Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Latvia (Ratification: 1994)

Article 3 of the Convention. Consultation with representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. Noting that the Government’s report does not contain a reply to its previous comments on this issue, the Committee once again recalls that it is an obligation under this Convention to consult representative organizations of employers and workers in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology of the statistics covered by the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on such consultation with regard to Articles 12 and 13.

Article 9 of the Convention. Statistics of wages and hours of work. The Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution I[2] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.

Article 16. Acceptance of obligations. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government on the compilation of statistics on occupational accidents and diseases and would be grateful if the Government would continue to keep the ILO informed of any further developments in this area (Article 14).

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on the compilation of statistics on industrial disputes (Article 15).
