Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - New Zealand (Ratification: 2001)

Article 14 of the Convention. Statistics of occupational injuries and diseases. The Committee notes with satisfaction that in reply to its previous comments, the Government indicates that statistics on work-related claims for injuries are now published on an annual basis on the website of Statistics New Zealand in summary form. Serious Injury Outcome Indicators have also been published annually by the New Zealand Industry Prevention Strategy Secretariat. The Government states that in 2011, Statistics New Zealand will publish and further develop these indicators that include work-related injury indicators. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would keep the Office informed of further developments in this regard.

Article 9(2). Statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. Taking note of the information provided by the Government, the Committee draws its attention to Resolution I[1] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.
