Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Germany (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes the Government's first report and requests the Government to provide further information on the following points.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the ILO standards followed such as resolutions adopted by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) and the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-68 or ISCO-88), with regard to the existing labour force surveys (in accordance with Article 2).

Article 8. The Committee notes that censuses will be replaced by available population registers. It asks the Government to supply information on any development in this regard, including information on the application of Article 2 (ILO standards and guidelines followed, and the use of ISCO-68), and Article 3 (consultation with the employers' and workers' organizations). It also hopes that the Government will communicate to the Office the published statistics and detailed methodological information in accordance with Articles 5 and 6.

Article 13. Noting that the statistics of household income and expenditure exclude households with a monthly income of DM25,000 or more, the Committee asks the Government to indicate measures taken to extend the coverage of such surveys to households of all income groups. If the publication "EVS - Technical Series No. 15" for the 1988 and 1993 surveys contain aggregated data of household income and expenditure, please communicate such published data to the ILO in accordance with Article 5.

Article 14. Please provide information on: (i) specific standards and guidelines followed with regard to statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases (Article 2); (ii) sources of the statistics and definitions and methodology used in collecting and compiling these statistics (Article 6); and (iii) the coverage of the data for all persons injured, indicating whether data are available specifically for those injured with disability, and also if data are available for the corresponding working time lost.

Article 15. Please indicate which specific standards and guidelines are followed with regard to statistics of strikes and lockouts (Article 2). Please also state whether the latest publication of the methodological description of these statistics dates back to 1983-84 and, if so, whether an updated publication is considered.
