Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

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

The Committee notes the Government’s report and asks the Government to provide further information on the following points:

Article 8 of the Convention.  The Committee draws the attention of the Government once again to the obligations of Article 5 concerning the communication of data derived from the latest census (total and economically active population) to the ILO. The Committee asks the Government to communicate this information to the ILO as soon as practicable.

Article 9, paragraph 2.  The Committee notes that, according to the Government’s report, statistics of time rates of wages for normal hours of work could, in principle, be derived from the Encuesta de Salarios en la Industria y los Servicios. However, such statistics are not compiled and do not appear to be appropriate. The Committee again asks the Government to indicate whether it intends to compile statistics of time rates of wages.

Article 14.  The Committee notes with interest that, according to the information available at the ILO, statistics on occupational injuries and occupational diseases have also been collected via an ad hoc module of questions attached to the Labour Force Survey. It asks the Government to communicate these statistics to the ILO when they are available.

Article 16.  The Committee notes with interest that, although Articles 10 and 11 were excluded from the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention, the Government participated in the 1996 European Community Structure of Earnings Survey and the 1996 European Community Labour Cost Survey, which meet the requirements of these Articles, respectively. It draws the Government’s attention to the possibility of subsequently accepting the obligations in respect of these Articles in pursuance of Article 16, paragraph 3.
