Article 3.Consultation of employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the National Statistical Council (OST) acts as a special advisory and review body to the president of the Central Statistical Office (KSH). It also notes that, since the entry into force in 2017 of the Act CLV of 2016 on official statistics (Sttv.), one member of the OST is nominated by the National Economic and Special Council, which represents employers and employees. The Government also indicates that, in accordance with the law (Sttv.), a National Statistical Coordination Board (NSKT) has been established, composed of representatives of the Official Statistical Service (HSSz). The Government specifies that the KSH, with the involvement of the OST and the NKST, develops and reviews the National Statistical Code of Practice as well as statistical methods, concepts and classifications. The OST and the NKST are also tasked with providing opinions on the National Statistical Data Collection Programme. In the absence of specific information in that regard,the Committee requests the Government to provide details on how the representative organizations of employers and workers are effectively and directly consulted on the matters listed in Article 3 of the Convention.

Articles 9 and 10 of the Convention. Statistics of average earnings and of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. Statistics of wage structure and distribution. The Committee welcomes the Government’s efforts to provide up-to-date detailed information on Statistics of average earnings and of time rates of wages and normal hours of work, as well as statistics of wage structure and distribution. The Committee requests the Government to continue collecting such data and to provide them, along with related methodological notes, to the ILO Department of Statistics, as soon as they become available.

Articles 7 and 8. Employment, unemployment and underemployment statistics. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Committee notes that the statistics resulting from the continuous Labour Force Survey are made available to the public through the website of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, including the relevant methodological information. The Committee also notes the introduction, as of January 2023, of model-based estimation incorporating administrative data from the National Tax and Customs Office and the National Public Employment Service, allowing for more accurate monthly estimates of employment and unemployment. It further welcomes the continued publication of disaggregated data on employment, unemployment and underemployment by sex and age. In addition, the Committee welcomes the information regarding the general population census conducted in 2022, which contained questions regarding employment, jobseekers, and availability to work. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply data and information to the ILO Department of Statistics on the application of Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. It further invites the Government to keep the Committee informed of any developments towards the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics on work relationships, adopted by the 20th ICLS (2018) (Resolution I) and regarding the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics on the informal economy, adopted by the 21st ICLS (2023) (Resolution I).

Article 14. Statistics of occupational injuries. The Committee notes that the collection of statistics of occupational accidents continues to follow the methodology prescribed by the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW). It recalls that, while the ESAW methodology requires the reporting of accidents resulting in an absence from work longer than three days, the Resolution concerning statistics of occupational injuries adopted by the 16th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 1998) recommends that statistics cover injuries causing an absence from work of at least one day, excluding the day of the accident, and fatal injuries. Underlining 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 under paragraph 2 of the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Committee requests the Government to provide the ILO with updated statistical data on occupational injuries, accidents and diseases – including data on injuries causing an absence from work of at least one day – along with related methodological notes.

Article 15. Statistics of industrial disputes. The Committee notes that the ILO Department of Statistics continues to receive, through the chapter on strikes and lockouts of its annual questionnaire, updated statistics on industrial disputes. The Committee invites the Government to continue to regularly provide the ILO with statistics on strikes and lockouts (number of strikes and lockouts, workers involved in strikes and lockouts, and days not worked due to strikes and lockouts).
