Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Spain (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee notes the availability on the website of the National Statistical Institute (INE) of the statistics covered by the Convention and of the relevant methodological information.

Article 9 of the Convention. Compilation of statistics of wages and hours of work. Taking note of the information provided by the Government, the Committee draws its attention to Resolution I[1] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics.

Article 16. Acceptance of obligations. In its previous comments, the Committee welcomed the fact that the European Community Structure of Earnings Survey, in which the Government had participated, fully met the requirement of Article 10, as well as the fact that statistics of labour costs were established on a quarterly, annual and four-yearly basis and also met the requirements of Article 11. The Committee therefore requests the Government once again to consider having recourse to the possibility envisaged in Article 16(3), of accepting the obligations under Articles 10 and 11, and requests it to inform the Office of any developments in this respect.
