Statistics were requested on participation and expenditures in training from 32 countries, i.e. those which indicated during the first statistical inquiry that they had the statistics in question and were able to provide these to the
ILO (Galhardi, 2002). The analysis of statistics collected, their characteristics, sources, coverage, frequency, etc. and an assessment of data comparability across countries, its strengths and limitations can be found in the study conducted by
Galhardi and Mangozho, 2003: Statistics
on investment in Training: An assessment of data available and cross-country
comparability.
The 26 countries which responded positively to the first enquiry on
statistics on investment in training are 6 from the
Asia/Pacific region, 3 from the Middle-East, 11 from Latin America and 6
from Africa. All indicated that they could provide statistics on both
expenditures and participation in training activities with the exception of
Trinidad & Tobago, Egypt and Cameroon. The latter could provide
information either on participation or expenditures in training, as
indicated in Table 1.
