Convenio sobre estadísticas del trabajo, 1985 (núm. 160) - Belarús (Ratificación : 1990)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report. It asks the Government to provide further information on the following points:

Article 7 of the Convention.  The Committee asks the Government to supply to the ILO employment data from 1994 onwards (either directly or in reply to the next round of the Bureau of Statistics’ Yearbook of Labour Statistics questionnaires). It also asks the Government to provide information on the progress of the planned labour force survey.

Article 8.  The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the size of the economically active population and the number of employed and unemployed persons will be calculated on the basis of the population census carried out in February 1999. It asks the Government to send the census results to the ILO as soon as practicable in accordance with Article 5.

Article 9.  The Committee asks the Government to ensure that all the relevant statistics, and in particular statistics of average earnings by sex, and statistics of average hours actually worked by branch of economic activity, and if possible by sex, are regularly sent to the ILO, in accordance with Article 5.

Article 16.  The Committee notes the information in respect of Articles 11 to 15, under which the obligations have not been accepted. The Committee is making the following remarks with the purpose of clarifying the extent to which effect is already given to these provisions. Regarding Article 11, the Committee notes with interest that it was planned to conduct the first labour cost survey in 1999, with reference to 1997 and 1998. It asks the Government to keep the ILO informed of the development, the results and the methodology of this survey. With respect to Article 12, the Committee noted in its previous direct request that the Government had intended to accept the obligations of Article 12 of the Convention. In the absence of information on this point in the Government’s report, it again hopes that the necessary procedures will soon be accomplished, in accordance with Article 16, paragraph 3.

Regarding Articles 13 to 15, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to state the position of its law and practice with respect to statistics covered by Articles 13 (household expenditure), 14 (occupational injuries and occupational diseases) and 15 (industrial disputes), in accordance with Article 16, paragraph 4.
