The ILO Bureau of Statistics has just completed the estimates and
projections, by sex and age group, of the economically active population,
1950-2010. Individual projections are presented for all countries and/or
territories of the world which in 1990 had attained or exceeded the threshold
of 200,000 inhabitants. These estimates and projections will appear in
Economically active population, 1950-2010, ILO, 4th edition.
This publication is part of the programme launched by the ILO in 1971
with the aim of providing member States and the international community with
a tool that is as comprehensive, detailed and comparable nationally and
internationally as possible. These estimates and projections of the
economically active population are also part of the joint programme of the
United Nations and its specialized agencies aimed at disseminating data that
are coordinated and compatible in demographic terms.
