The world's foremost statistical reference on labor questions, this annual resource provides the principal labor statistics for over 190 countries, areas, and territories, with tables providing detailed data from the last ten years. Offering a unique trilingual format, it contains nine comprehensive chapters focusing on economically active population, employment, unemployment, hours of work, wages, labor costs, consumer prices, occupational injuries, strikes, and lockouts. Where available, separate figures by sex are shown in the tables on economically active population, employment, unemployment, hours of work, and wages. Drawing mainly from national statistical services or official national publications, the data comprising this volume are published, whenever possible, according to the latest versions of the International Standard Classifications: the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC) Revision 3, the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88), the International Classification of Status of Employment (ISCE-93), and the International Standard of Education (ISCED-76).
