Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Russian Federation (Ratification: 1990)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending June 2005.

Article 8 of the Convention. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the active population. Further to its previous comments (1996 and 2000), the Committee notes with satisfaction the availability through the All-Russian Census of the population, 2002 (VPN 2002), of statistical data on the active population and its structure. The documents published by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) contain statistics on the active population employed or unemployed and the information is disaggregated by sex, age, educational level, place of
residence – whether urban or rural – and by geographical region; data on employment is also broken down on the basis of socio-economic status, economic sectors and occupations of the population. The Government is requested to supply, as soon as possible, the data and methodology information required by Articles 5 and 6 of the Convention.

The Committee also notes with satisfaction that Article 9(2) is now fully applied and that a revised national classification of occupations in line with the European Union NACE, Rev.1, and ISIC, Rev.3, classifications was adopted in 2005. It trusts that statistics on average earnings and hours of work, drawn up in conformity with the new OKVED classification will be supplied to the Office.

The Committee is addressing a request concerning certain points directly to the Government.
