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, including information on the major definitions of indicators. In addition, it notes that the Government continues to supply data to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination through its website (ILOSTAT). The Committee also notes that the latest Labour Force Survey (LFS) figures relate to 2014. The Government has also regularly supplied census data for publication on ILOSTAT. The latest census was the 2011 Population and Housing Census. The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply data and information on the methodology used in the application of these provisions, as well as on any plans for conducting the next round of the population census. It also invites the Government to provide information on any plans for conducting the next census. Please also 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).

Article 9. Current statistics of average earnings and hours of work. Statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. The Government indicates in its report that the Annual Earnings Statistics Survey changed its method of calculation in 2004, when it ceased collecting annual data from enterprises. Since 2004, annual earnings indicators are calculated using data from the Quarterly Statistical Survey on Earnings and from the State Social Insurance Fund Board of the Ministry of Social Security and Labour. The Quarterly Statistical Survey on Earnings collects data on the number of employees, the sum of remuneration, working hours and labour cost elements. The Committee notes that statistics on average hours actually worked and monthly earnings, by economic activity, industry group and sex, derived from the Annual Earnings Statistics are regularly sent to the ILO for dissemination on ILOSTAT. The latest data refer to 2014 for all series. The Committee welcomes the information provided on average monthly earnings and hours of work (Article 9(1)) and requests that the Government provide updated information regarding the application of Article 9(2).

Articles 11, 14 and 15. Statistics of labour cost, occupational injuries and industrial disputes. The Government indicates that a Labour Cost Survey, which provides data on the level, structure and distribution of labour costs, had been carried out every four years since 1996. The survey was discontinued in 2012 and labour cost indicators are now estimated using data from administrative sources and from other available statistics. The Committee notes in this regard the information provided on both component details and computation methods. With respect to statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases (Article 14), the former are derived from Labour Inspectorate records, whereas the latter are collected by the Institute of Hygiene and maintained in the State Register of Occupational Diseases. The Committee further notes that the Government regularly communicates statistics on occupational injuries to the ILO via its annual questionnaire on labour statistics for dissemination on ILOSTAT. In relation to Article 15, the Government provides information on the Statistical Survey on Strikes, a survey of enterprises conducted by Statistics Lithuania on an ongoing basis via a questionnaire sent to enterprises where strikes take place. The Government indicates that the survey methodology is prepared in accordance with recommendations regarding the Resolution concerning statistics of strikes, lockouts and other action due to labour disputes, adopted by the 15th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (Geneva, 1993). Statistics on strikes from this source were submitted to the ILO Department of Statistics via its annual questionnaire on labour statistics on a regular basis through 2008. The Committee notes, however, that the latest statistics received refer to 2012. The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply up-to-date statistics in relation to these provisions of the Convention.
