Visualization tool on the impact of latest statistical standards

 


The Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labor Statisticians (ICLS) in 2013 laid the foundation for improved statistical labor standards, by introducing the first international statistical definition of work and a forms-of-work framework distinguishing five forms of work (based on the intended destination of the work and the nature of the transaction): own-use production work, employment, unpaid trainee work, volunteer work, and other work activities. Enabling and promoting the separate measurement of these various forms of work, the 19th ICLS resolution restricts the definition of employment to work done for pay or profit (thus excluding various types of unpaid work that were previously considered employment). The 19th ICLS resolution also refines and expands the measurement of labour underutilization and fosters the analysis of labour market attachment. 

The standards adopted by subsequent ICLS have built on this core resolution to revise and update the classification of status in employment (20th ICLS in 2018) and to improve and refine the measurement of the informal economy (21st ICLS in 2023).

The implementation of these latest standards greatly increases the analytical relevance of work statistics, enabling a much more detailed and comprehensive view of the world of work. However, the impact of this implementation, especially on some key long-standing labour market indicators, is not always easily understood.

Our interactive visualization tool intends to ease the understanding of the impact of latest statistical standards across a range of work-related topics. It shows the increased analytical value of statistics based on latest standards and visualizes the differences in some key indicators according to old and new standards for a range of countries with different labour market conditions and local contexts. The tool uses data from the Work Statistics – 19th ICLS (WORK) database and the ILO Harmonized Microdata Repository.

This didactic tool was designed for educational purposes, to cast light on the impact of the new standards. It is not meant as a data source. For data access, visit the comprehensive and frequently updated databases from the Data page.

Data experts race to preserve US government statistics amid quiet purges

Image
                                                After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. "There are trillions of bytes of data files, and I can't even imagine how many public dollars were spent to collect those data. ... But right now, they're sitting someplace that is inaccessible because there are no staff to appropriately manage those data," Jennifer Park, a study director for the Committee on National Statistics, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, said during the conference hosted by the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). Their goal is to make sure they are available in t...

11 Essential Statistical Tools for Data-Driven Research

Image
  Best Statistical Tools, Statistical analysis is a crucial part of research, and statistical tools can streamline the process by helping researchers interpret the data in a simpler format. Here's the list of best statistical tools. 1. R In data analytics, R stands out among the top open-source statistical tools. Researchers in statistics use it. It provides high-quality toolboxes that can be used for many different things. The learning curve for the open-source programming language R is steep. R programming provides an efficient data handling and storage facility. R also has the best set available for array calculations. Thanks to its graphical tools for analysis, data visualization is another area where R shines. It is an all-inclusive high-level programming language with various functions, conditional loops, and decision expressions 2. Python Python is a versatile language with statistics modules. Its versatility and depth make it an excellent choice for creating analysis pipeli...

Trump Gets Rid of Those Pesky Statistics

Image
  For decades, Donald Trump has been at war with numbers. Some have capitulated more swiftly than others. His weight, his golf scores, and his net worth have long fallen in line. As I understand it, a Trump doctor appointment consists of going to a medical professional and announcing how much you would like to weigh and what your resting heart rate ought to be, and the wise doctor’s patriotic, good equipment cooperates to measure you correctly. (I have tried this myself without success. My scale is not a true patriot.) Mean, wicked scales that display unflattering numbers, and foolish, incompetent golf balls that do not traverse the correct distance, are promptly discarded and replaced with their more loyal counterparts. This is how value works! As Trump testified once in court, “My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with the markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings … Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is...
