Article 9 of the Convention. Compilation of statistics on average earnings and hours of work. The Committee notes that the statistics required under this Article have not been received at the ILO since 2005 and that they are not available on the website provided in the Government’s report. It asks once again that the Government to take the necessary measures to transmit regularly the statistics on average earnings and hours of work to the ILO as soon as they become available together with information on their publication and methodology, as required in Articles 5 and 6.

The Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution I[1] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statistics in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.

Article 11 of the Convention. Compilation of statistics of labour cost. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that estimates concerning labour costs in industry had not been supplied to the ILO for several years. The Committee notes that according to the Government, detailed data by economic activity on labour cost are gathered every four years in the context of research coordinated by EUROSTAT and that the most recent data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) are the results for 2004. The Committee also notes however, that no estimates of labour cost in industry have been provided to the ILO for a number of years and that these statistics are not readily available on the CBS website. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that statistics on labour cost, consistent with data on employment and hours of work (hours actually worked or hours paid for), cover the important branches of economic activity, in particular industrial activity. It also draws the Government’s attention to the obligations of Articles 5 and 6 concerning the timely communication of data collected and methodological information underpinning them to the ILO.

Article 14(1). Compilation of statistics on occupational injuries. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the information provided by the Government with respect to the collection and dissemination of statistics on occupational injuries is in compliance with the requirements of Article 14. However, the Committee wishes to point out, that the information supplied by the Government is not sufficient to permit a proper assessment of the application of Article 3 on consultation with organizations of employers and workers. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide information on the consultations held with representative organizations of employers and workers in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used in the collection, compilation and publication of statistics on occupational injuries.

Article 14(2). Compilation of statistics on occupational diseases. The committee notes that the information provided by the Government is not sufficient to allow it to assess the extent to which this provision is applied. It therefore once again, requests the Government to supply information on: (i) standards and guidelines that have been taken into account in designing the concepts, definitions, and methodology used (Article 2); (ii) the consultations held with representative organisations of employers and workers in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used in collection, compilation, and publication of statistics on occupational diseases (Article 3); and (iii) the title and reference number of the principal publication which contains the detailed descriptions of the survey methodology used (Article 6).
