The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report concerning Articles 11, 14 and 15 of the Convention. The Committee also notes that the Government has submitted statistics to the ILO Department of Statistics concerning Articles 11 and 14 of the Convention. With regard to Article 11, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government indicating that the Statistical Service of Cyprus (CYSTAT) carried out a Labour Cost Survey in 2013, with 2012 as the year of reference. Moreover, statistics on average hourly labour costs per insured person have been transmitted to the ILO Department of Statistics for dissemination on its website (ILOSTAT). The Committee notes that there have been no changes affecting the application of Article 14, and that the Government regularly submits statistics on occupational injuries to the ILO Department of Statistics through completion of the corresponding chapter of ILOSTAT’s annual questionnaire on labour statistics. With regard to Article 15, the Government indicates that the introduction of a computerized information management system regarding industrial disputes has not resulted in any change in methodology. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any developments in relation to the application of these provisions, including any changes in the compilation, analysis and dissemination of statistics and in the methodology used.
Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. Employment, unemployment and underemployment statistics. Statistics on the structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Government indicates in its report that with the adoption of new Integrated European Social Statistics (IESS) regulations, which will enter into force in 2019, a model questionnaire and flow charts on employment and unemployment proposed by Eurostat will be used as guidelines for purposes of the Labour Force Survey questionnaire. The Government adds that these guidelines will be in line with the resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (resolution I), adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013). The Committee notes that statistical data continues to be supplied regularly to the ILO Department of Statistics, including statistical and methodological information relating to the most recent Population Census (2011). The Committee requests the Government to provide updated information on plans for conducting the next round of the population census. It also requests the Government to communicate information on any developments in relation to the implementation of the resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (resolution I), adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013).
Article 9(2). Statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that, following the discontinuation of the Wages and Salaries Survey, the only survey now capable of producing statistics on earnings and normal hours of work by economic activity and occupation is the Structure of Earnings Survey, which is conducted every four years. The most recent reference years for this survey are 2010 and 2014. The Government adds that the methodology used for the survey is defined by European regulations. The Committee requests that the Government continue to provide updated information on the application of Article 9(2) of the Convention.
Article 10. Statistics of wage structure and distribution. The Government indicates that the quarterly data on average earnings of employees by sex, disseminated by the CYSTAT, are not derived from the Structure of Earnings Survey, but are drawn from the records of the Ministry of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance. The Committee notes the link to a website provided by the Government in its report; however, no such statistics appear to be retrievable from this website. The Committee therefore requests that the Government transmit the relevant statistics on wage structure and distribution to the ILO, as well as information regarding the relevant methodology.
