(Trilingual publication, also available on CD-ROM)
Since its first edition in 1935-36, the Yearbook of Labour Statistics has established itself as the world's foremost work of statistical reference on labour questions, bringing together in systematic form a mass of data from a vast network of authoritative sources of information in some 190 countries.
This new 65th edition is being released for the first time in two volumes:
Volume 1 (Time Series covering the preceding ten years) ) continues the time series format of the previous edition and contains 31 tables corresponding to nine major substantive chapters on the following:
eeconomically active population
employment
unemployment
hours of work
wages
labour cost
consumer prices
occupational injuries
strikes and lockouts
Volume 2, Country profiles, introduced a new format showing the latest available statistics (without time series) on each of the topics listed above for each of over 190 countries, areas and territories, and also includes global and regional estimates on the economically active population, employment and unemployment. Data with monthly, quarterly or half-yearly frequencies relating to general series on employment, unemployment, hours of work, wages and consumer price indices are published in the Bulletin of Labour Statistics.
