Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Sweden (Ratification: 1986)

Article 8 of the Convention. Compilation of statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Government indicated that the population census is conducted every five years and the latest one was conducted in 2010. The Committee notes that the most recent methodological description of the Swedish population census available at the ILO dates back to 2005 (Fifth report of Government of Sweden) and refers to the 1990 population census. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the ILO with the methodological information on the 2005 and 2010 rounds of the population census together with the web links on their results.

Article 9. Compilation of statistics of wages and hours of work. Noting the information provided by the Government, the Committee draws its attention to Resolution I[1] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.
