Article 7 of the Convention. Statistics of the economically active population, employment and unemployment. The Government indicates in its report that it has a very well developed national statistical system, adding that there is an alignment of concepts and definitions, to the extent possible, with international standards and concepts. The Committee notes that, while the obligations under Article 7 have not been accepted, statistics on employment and unemployment derived from the labour force survey are communicated to the ILO Department of Statistics. It notes in this regard that the latest data refers to 2010. The Committee invites the Government to provide up-to-date statistics on employment and unemployment as they become available. It also invites the Government to provide information on any developments towards 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).

Article 8. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Committee notes that the methodological information regarding the 2011 census is available on the Ministry of Home Affairs’ website. It also notes that data has been regularly supplied to the ILO Department of Statistics. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any developments towards the implementation of the resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization.

Articles 9, 10, 11 and 16(4). Matters covered by Articles not accepted. Statistics of average earnings, hours of work, wage structure and labour cost. In reply to the previous comments, the Government indicates that the sixth round of the Occupational Wage Survey was conducted and covered 56 selected industries (45 manufacturing, four mining, three plantations and four service sectors). The Committee notes that the survey’s objective was to obtain information on employment, wage rates and different components of pay earnings for different occupations for the purpose of scientific research into inter- and intra-industry differentials in earnings in plantations, mining, manufacturing and service-sector industries. Detailed methodological information collected through the survey is available on the website of the Labour Bureau. The Committee further notes that most of the data supplied to the ILO Department of Statistics is outdated. The Committee invites the Government to provide up-to-date statistics on the subjects covered by Articles 9, 10 and 11, as well as their sources, methodology and publication.

Articles 12, 13 and 16(4). Consumer price indices and statistics of household income and expenditure. Referring to Article 16, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the obligations under these provisions have not been accepted. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on the position of its law and practice on the subjects covered by Articles 12 and 13 in respect of which it has not accepted the obligations of the Convention. It invites the Government in this regard to provide information on consumer price indices and relevant methodological information and results of any household and expenditure survey conducted.

Articles 14 and 16(4). Statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases. The Committee notes that, while the obligations under this Article have not been accepted, statistics on occupational injuries and occupational diseases are compiled on an annual basis by the Labour Bureau. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any developments in the compilation and dissemination of statistics of occupational injuries and diseases.
