Yearbook of Labour Statistics Retrospective edition on population censuses 1945-1989
This is the first time that the Yearbook of Labour Statistics, which was first published in 1935-36, appears in the form of a special Retrospective Edition entirely devoted to population censuses carried out throughout the world since 1945.
Covering 184 countries, areas and territories, this reference publication presents statistical information derived from 559 population censuses. The data relate to:
the total and economically active population by sex and age group
the economically active population by industry, by status in employment and by sex
the economically active population by industry, by occupation and by sex.
The essential methodological characteristics concerning most of the censuses shown in this retrospective edition are described in Volume 5 of Sources and Methods: Labour Statistics.
