Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Finland (Ratification: 1987)

The Committee notes that the comments on the application of the Convention by the Confederation of Finnish Industry and Employers (TT), the Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) and the Confederation of Unions for Academic Professionals in Finland (AKAVA) were received on 3 November 1999 with the Government's report. It notes in particular that SAK makes specific reference to Article 7 (increase of hidden unemployment and absence of statistics on underemployment), Article 9 (defective link between statistics of earnings and those of hours of work) and Article 10 (non-availability of wage distribution data regarding all sectors) of the Convention. The Committee will examine the details of these comments at its next session together with any observations the Government wishes to make on the points raised, as well as the replies to the direct request made in 1995.
