Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Netherlands (Ratification: 1990)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments concerning Articles 3, 7 and 15 of the Convention.

Article 8. The Committee recalls that, the 1981 census having been cancelled, it was planned to replace the next census by a combination of population registers and labour force surveys. It requests the Government to indicate developments in this regard.

Article 14. Further to the previous request, the Committee notes the absence of recorded information on the exact amount of time lost from work accidents, and requests the Government to keep the matter under review. It asks the Government to supply information on any developments in this respect as well as further progress made in the reporting of occupational diseases. In the absence of reply, the Committee again requests the Government to indicate whether ILO standards and guidelines have been followed in designing or revising the concepts and methodology of statistics of occupational injuries, and any departures from them (in accordance with Article 2), and to communicate to the ILO the published statistics (Article 5) and the methodological descriptions of these statistics, including information concerning the coverage of the statistics, the terminology and definitions and the reporting and data-collection procedures (Article 6).
