Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government indicates that every effort is being made to adhere to the maximum possible extent to ILO classifications and standards in the preparation of labour statistics. It adds that, in many cases, EU regulations govern the specific standards and methodologies applied. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any changes in international standards that have been taken into account in the preparation of the different labour statistics topics that are compiled. It also encourages the Government to communicate directly with the ILO in this regard.

Article 8. The Government indicates that the most recent census of the population was undertaken in April 2011 and results are available on the website of the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The Committee invites the Government to provide the methodological information on the 2011 population census, as soon as it becomes available.

Article 9(2). Statistics on time rates of wages and normal hours of work. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any future developments envisaged with a view to the collection, compilation and publication of such statistics.

Article 14(2). Statistics on occupational diseases. With respect to occupational diseases, the Government indicates that no formal registration system exists which is required to allow reporting according to the detailed classification of disease. While some aggregate-level information is collected through the Quarterly National Household Survey, it does not meet the detailed requirement. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any plans it may have to produce statistics on occupational diseases, to be communicated to the ILO with the relevant description of the eventual source(s), concept, definitions and methodology used for their compilation.

Article 16. Acceptance of obligations. The Committee notes the current review of possible administrative sources for statistics on the structure of earnings. The Committee invites the Government to report on the review process. It also wishes to draw the Government’s attention, once again, to the possibility of accepting the obligations under Article 10 (statistics on wage structure and distribution covering employees in important branches of economic activity), in accordance with Article 16(3).
