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 once again notes that the Government continues to supply statistics on the economically active population, employment and unemployment to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination through its website (ILOSTAT). The latest Labour Force Survey (LFS) figures provided relate to 2020. The Government reports that, in compliance with EU Parliament and Council Framework Regulation No. 2019/1700 and EU Commission Implementing Regulation No. 2019/2240, the LFS covers employment among persons 15–89 years of age and unemployment among persons 15–74 years of age. Moreover, underemployment is captured and measured according to EU standards. The Government indicates that it is planning the 2021 population and housing census. It adds that Norway has now developed a completely register-based Population and Housing Census statistical system, in which all census-related statistics are disseminated annually nationwide. In addition, the Committee acknowledges the information provided in the Government’s report with respect to the implementation of Resolution I of the 19th ICLS concerning "Statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization" (2013). The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply updated data and information on the methodology used in the application of these provisions, as well as information on the methodology and results of the planned 2021 population and housing census. It further requests that the Government continue to provide information on any developments in relation to the application of Resolution I of the 19th ICLS concerning "Statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization"(2013).
Articles 9, 10 and 11. Current statistics of average earnings and hours of work. Statistics of wage structure and distribution. Statistics of labour cost. The Committee notes that the following statistics were provided to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination: average weekly hours actually worked, derived from the LFS and disaggregated by economic activity and sex, and average monthly earnings of employees, by branch of economic activity and sex, derived from the Establishment Survey. For both series, the most recent figures refer to 2020. With respect to statistics of wage structure and distribution, the Committee understands that these statistics continue to be compiled following EU guidelines on the Structure of Earnings Survey. The latest data available is from 2018. In response to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that it continues to regularly report data on labour costs to the ILO Department of Statistics. The Committee notes that the latest data available in ILOSTAT is from 2020. The concepts, definitions and methodology used in the labour cost survey follow EU guidelines and are in accordance with the ILO framework.   The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply updated information on the application of these provisions, including information relating to both data and methodology.
Article 14. Statistics of occupational injuries. The Government indicates in its report that the coverage of national statistics in this area remains unchanged. Statistics Norway also collects data every three years on occupational injuries and perceived health problems caused by work through the Survey on living conditions and working environment every three years. The Survey covers a representative sample of the working population aged 18–66 years old, who are Norwegian residents. These statistics are used by national authorities such as The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority, as background for their inspections. Statistics Norway publishes these data as national statistics but does not report the data to Eurostat or other international bodies. The latest data available under ILOSTAT is from 2019. With respect to occupational diseases, Statistics Norway is collaborating with the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration, to assess the possibility of establishing official statistics that comply with EUROSTAT methodology. The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply statistics on occupational injuries and new source compilations, as and when they become available.
