Data and statistics

Labour statistics play an essential role in the efforts of member States to achieve decent work for all and for the ILO's support of these efforts.

These statistics are needed for the development and evaluation of policies towards this goal and for assessing progress towards decent work. They are also an important tool for information and analysis, helping to increase understanding of common problems, explain actions and mobilize interest.
