  1. Engendering informality statistics: gaps and opportunities

    21 November 2022

    Informality is a dynamic and multidimensional concern that demands gender-sensitive data. In 2018, globally, more than 60% of employment was informal. However, global averages hide that in more countries the share of women in informal employment exceeds that of men. Also, women in the informal economy are often in the most unprotected situations – as domestic workers, home-based workers and contributing family workers – where a lack of visibility can increase their vulnerability.

  5. Global review of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on labour force surveys and dissemination of labour market statistics

    30 September 2021

    In March 2021 the ILO undertook a global survey of national data producers to understand the impacts of the pandemic on their statistical operations particularly in the domain of labour statistics. The findings show that impacts were very wide spread and significant. This created a massive challenge for data producers which they responded to by making many changes and generally maintaining or even increasing the range of data published.
