This document provides recommended survey questions for collecting data on work relationships (ICSE-18), informal employment, and the classification of economic units across three sectors: informal, formal, and household own-use production and community sector (HOC). It incorporates the 20th ICLS resolution on work relationships (ICSE-18) and the 21st ICLS resolution on statistics for the informal economy.
The questions are designed to help countries:
• Capture work relationships as classified by ICSE-18 at various levels.
• Identify informal employment and classify economic units within the three sectors.
This tool builds on the latest work by countries and the ILO, supporting the production of statistics aligned with current international labour statistical standards.
