Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Netherlands (Ratification: 1990)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following points raised in its previous direct request:

Article 8. The Committee recalls that, the 1981 census having been cancelled, it was planned to replace the next census by a combination of population registers and labour force surveys. It requests the Government to indicate developments in this regard.

Article 14. Further to the previous request, the Committee notes the absence of recorded information on the exact amount of time lost from work accidents, and requests the Government to keep the matter under review. It asks the Government to supply information on any developments in this respect as well as further progress made in the reporting of occupational diseases. In the absence of reply, the Committee again requests the Government to indicate whether ILO standards and guidelines have been followed in designing or revising the concepts and methodology of statistics of occupational injuries, and any departures from them (in accordance with Article 2), and to communicate to the ILO the published statistics (Article 5) and the methodological descriptions of these statistics, including information concerning the coverage of the statistics, the terminology and definitions and the reporting and data-collection procedures (Article 6).
