| description |
Between 2017 and 2019, the International
Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Bank, in
collaboration with the Department of Census and Statistics
(DCS) of Sri Lanka, completed a pilot study in Sri Lanka
with the goal of developing guidance on good practice in the
measurement of women and men’s work through household
surveys. The study was designed to enable a comparison of
the outcomes of two types of household surveys, namely, the
labour force survey (LFS) and the multitopic living
standards survey (MLSS). This new framework recognizes that
people may engaged in multiple working activities within the
same period, thereby enabling a complete accounting all work
performed. An additional important development was the
adoption of an extended set of labour underutilization
indicators to supplement the unemployment rate. This report
presents a first summary set of the findings of the pilot
study. The findings are being used to generate guidance on
the measurement of labour across different types of
household surveys. While highlighting issues of measurement,
the report also emphasizes the valuable data that can be
generated if the guidelines and standards are implemented,
such as the more comprehensive measurement of all the
working contributions of men and women. |
