| Summary: | Labor statistics provide essential
information for macroeconomic planning and policy
formulation on employment creation, vocational training,
income generation, and poverty reduction. A clear
understanding and accurate comparability of labor indicators
are therefore crucial for promoting efficient policies
across countries and require the consistent application of
international standards in collecting employment data in
multi-topic household surveys. This Living Standards
Measurement Study (LSMS) guidebook provides informed advice
to statisticians and survey practitioners on the accurate
measurement of employment and work in accordance with
standards of the 19th International conference of labor
statisticians (ICLS) and in the context of multi-topic
household surveys. |
