The ILO prepared a room document on SSE statistics for the 21st International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) entitled Measuring the social and solidarity economy (SSE): A roadmap towards guidelines concerning the statistics of the SSE (of which this document is an executive summary).
The room document first explains the SSE concept. It then exposes the background and history around the statistics of the SSE.
It further explains the current state of statistics frameworks for the SSE. It also recalls the recent and current discussions and initiatives of the International Labour Office and other international entities regarding the subject.
In closing, a roadmap to develop harmonized statistics through international guidelines for statistics concerning the SSE is proposed.
