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 the detailed information provided in the Government’s report regarding the compilation of statistics on employment, unemployment and visible underemployment, derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), which is carried out by Statistics Sweden (SCB) on a monthly basis. The Committee notes the increase in the sample size of the LFS, as well as the introduction of a new indicator in June 2014, concerning young persons who neither work nor study (NEET). The Government continues to supply data to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination through its website (ILOSTAT). In response to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that the SCB did not conduct a population census in 2005 or 2010, but that it carried out a household and housing census in 2011. The Committee notes that census data, including information regarding methodology and the results of the household and housing census was supplied to ILOSTAT. The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply data and information on the methodology used in the application of these provisions. It also invites the Government to provide information on any plans for conducting the next population census. It also requests the Government to include information on any developments in relation to the implementation of the resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (Resolution I), adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013).

Articles 9, 10 and 11. Compilation of statistics on wages and hours of work. Statistics of wage structure and distribution. Labour costs. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the Labour Cost Index (LCI), the Labour Cost Survey (LCS) and the Structure of Earnings Survey (SES). Since 2001, the responsibilities for compiling and interpreting data in relation to wage formation and for consulting with other users of wage statistics fall under the responsibility of the National Mediation Office (NMO). The Committee notes that statistics on average hours actually worked and monthly earnings, disaggregated by sex and economic activity, are regularly sent to the ILO for dissemination on ILOSTAT. The most recent data, collected through the LFS, refer to 2014. The Committee welcomes the information provided by the Government in relation to statistics of average earnings and hours of work, wage structure and distribution and labour cost. The Government is requested to continue to provide updated information regarding the application of these provisions of the Convention.

The Committee notes that, as a result of a project launched in 2008, since 2012 it has been possible for work injuries to be reported electronically. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on measures taken to implement this provision of the Convention, including information regarding the impact of the introduction of electronic reporting of occupational injuries.
