Sectoral Data: Short-Term Indicators

Timely information on the labour market is indispensable for drawing up appropriate policy responses. Each month the ILO collects and disseminates the latest national data for indicators which have been selected for their ability to reflect recent and short term changes.

The short term indicators of the labour market database contains information at sectoral level on employment and hours of work for more than 60 countries. Quarterly data are presented according to each country's national statistical classification system by specific economic sectors. Where available, data are presented disaggregated by sex. Data for countries are organised according to regional groupings.

Select the link for the Short Term Indicators of the Labour Market; expand the list titled, Statistics: Main Tables, then select Employment and hours of work, by economic activity (main categories).
