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

Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. Employment, unemployment and underemployment statistics. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Committee notes that the statistics on the economically active population, employment, unemployment and visible underemployment continue to be regularly supplied to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination through its website (ILOSTAT). The most recent data are derived from the 2023 labour force survey. The Committee observes that the Federal State Statistics Service has introduced new concepts, definitions and terms, in accordance with ILO recommendations. In particular, the Committee notes that, since 2016, the Government has compiled and published statistics on the potential labour force, the overall unemployment rate, labour force participation in activities such as like volunteer work, work done as part of an unpaid internship, vocational training, and the production of goods for own use. The Committee requests the Government to continue to regularly provide the data required under the Convention. It also requests the Government to provide information on any developments that have an impact on the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization, adopted by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) at its 19th session in October 2013 (Resolution I), the Resolution concerning statistics on work relationships, adopted by the ICLS at its 20th session in 2018 (Resolution I), and the Resolution concerning statistics on the informal economy, adopted by the ICLS at its 21st session in 2023 (Resolution I).

Article 14. Statistics on occupational accidents and diseases. The Committee notes the statistical information provided as part of the annual questionnaire of the ILO Department of Statistics concerning occupational accidents and diseases. It notes that the information is derived also from workers’ organizations’ registers, the most recent from 2023. Highlighting the decision of the International Labour Conference at its 110th Session in June 2022 to include “a safe and healthy working environment” as a fundamental principle and right at work, the Committee requests the Government to: (i) provide information on any developments concerning the production and publication of statistics on occupational accidents and diseases; (ii) continue to regularly provide the relevant statistics; and (iii) provide updated information on the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used for the collection and compilation of data.

Article 15. Statistics on industrial disputes. The Committee observes that, according to previous reports, the statistics concerning industrial disputes are collected by the Federal Service for Employment and those concerning strikes are collected by the national statistics bodies directly from the organizations involved in the work stoppage. It notes that there is little information on the methodologies used. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide updated information on the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used for the collection and compilation of data.
