The present volume of this series provides methodological
information on national series of consumer price indices.
Further volumes will contain methodological information on total
and economically active population, employment, unemployment,
wages and hours of work, labour cost, occupational injuries,
strikes and lock-outs, and household income and expenditure surveys.
The purpose of these volumes is to document the national practices
used in the collection of various types of labour statistics in
order to assist the users of these statistics in evaluating their
quality and comparability, and their validity for the user's
descriptive and analytical needs. Sources and Methods: Labour
Statistics can consequently be seen as companion volumes to the
various chapters of the ILO Year Book of Labour Statistics
and of the Bulletin of Labour Statistics.
