The Committee takes particular note of the Government’s indication that guidelines established under the auspices of the ILO in the compilation of all labour related statistics are closely followed, notably Resolution I adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) on Statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (2013) and the Resolution on the International Standard Classification of Occupations ISCO-08.
Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. Employment, unemployment and underemployment statistics. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. No changes affecting the application of this article. The Committee notes that the Government continues to provide information compiled under Article 7 via the Labour Force Survey (LFS), with the latest statistics referring to 2021. The Committee notes with interest the 2019 revision to the LFS methodology, which aligned the definition of “employment” with developments with respect to Resolution I adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) on Statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (2013). Moreover, the LFS is conducted in accordance with the new master sample of households and new rotation scheme, using the number of the “usually resident population” for the estimation of the results (previously the number of the “stable population” was used). The Government provides information on both the existing metadata and the underlying methodology. With respect to the application of Article 8, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the 2014 population census was undertaken in May 2014 and the census data was communicated to ILOSTAT for dissemination on its website. The Government notes that the 2014 Census results were disseminated to the public on March 31, 2017. It adds that the next population census is scheduled to be carried out in 2023. With respect to the implementation of Resolution I adopted by the 19th ICLS, the Government notes that, as of 2019, the definition of “employment” is applied in line with the Resolution and no longer includes persons engaged in the production of agricultural products mainly for their own consumption, regardless of the number of hours worked. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on the results and methodology of the upcoming 2023 population census. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on any further developments in relation to the implementation of (Resolution I), adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013), as well as in relation to the Resolution concerning statistics on work relationships (Resolution I), adopted by the 20th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2018).
Article 9(2). Statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. The Government provides data on the average gross earnings by some activities, occupations and sex through the October Enterprise Survey on Earnings by Selected Occupation Disaggregated by Sex (2010-2017) as well as the average gross earnings by some activities, occupations and sex (2010-2014). The Committee notes that this data is published on the Government’s website. It nevertheless notes the Government’s indication that, as information is collected only for some occupations in 6 economic activities financed from the state budget (education, health, social protection, administration, culture and science), it was decided not to continue to compile such data. Accordingly, the National Bureau of Statistics does not currently compile data on time rate of wages by occupations. The Government indicates that the National Bureau of Statistics is in the process of setting up the necessary procedures to enable it to access the administrative data from the National House of Social Insurance and the State Tax Service. It adds that the National Bureau of Statistics intends to use the information from the Electronic Register of Employees, which it plans to implement for both the public and private sectors. As a result, the National Bureau of Statistics will be in a position to produce statistics on earnings by occupation in the future. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on statistical data compiled and the methodology used, as well as on any developments with respect to the production and dissemination of statistics on earnings by occupation.
