Key Indicators of the Labour Market, 6 th edition, contains a broader set of employment indicators, with an analysis of recent trends for each indicator. Indicators on the volume of employment, including labor force participation and employment-to-population rates, hours of work, underemployment, part-time employment Employment by status and sector Educational attainment Wage and earning indices Labor productivity The KILM also includes a section with country examples of analysis of the MDG employment indicators, and their linkages with other indicators.

Proportion of a country’s working-age population actively engaging in the labour market. Data are available by sex according to six standardized age groups: ◦ 15 years and older ◦ 15 to 24 years ◦ 15 to 64 years ◦ 25 to 54 years ◦ 55 to 64 years ◦ 65 years and older
5
The proportion of labor force unemployed, willing to work, and looking for employment. In regions where women face stronger employment barriers than men, the economic downturn will exacerbate the gender gap. In regions with little employment opportunity gender gaps, male-female unemployment rate should converge.
7
Vulnerable Employment is the sum of own- account and contributing family workers. ◦ Less likely to have informal employment arrangements and have less job security and effective social dialogue mechanisms. The combination of a rise in vulnerable employment and decline in labour productivity is likely to result in an increase in working poverty.
17
Completing the picture: ◦ Estimations for labor force participation and vulnerable employment can be estimated with labour force survey data.
18
Household-survey based model Advantages: ◦ Do not require macroeconomic model assumptions, ◦ Data can be disaggregated for youths and females, ◦ Does not require large international intervention or support Disadvantages: ◦ Countries lack survey instrument to capture data ◦ Bias estimates ◦ Lack of comparability over time
19
The ILO Employment Trends Team and The World Bank are mining household-surveys. ◦ Identifying surveys with questions to provide sufficient observations for estimates ◦ Identifying differences between survey variables and international standards ◦ Producing cross- tabulation of poverty with the labour force
