Key Indicators of the Labour MarketInternational Labour Organization, 2003 - 857 pages This valuable, wide-ranging reference tool meets the ever-increasing demand for timely, accurate and accessible information on the rapidly changing world of work. Now in its third edition, Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM) provides the general reader, as well as the expert, with concise explanations and analysis of the data on the world's labour markets. Harvesting vast information from international data repositories, and regional and national statistical sources, this important reference work offers data for over 200 countries for the years 1980, 1990, 1995 and the latest available subsequent five years. The volume employs an expanded, up-to-date range of 20 key labour market indicators allowing researchers to compare and contrast between economies and within regions across time. Using statistical data on the labour force, employment, unemployment, underemployment, educational attainment of the workforce, wages and compensation, productivity and labour costs, labour market flows, and poverty and income distribution as market indicators, it enables users to access the most current information available. Maps and graphics are used throughout to highlight key points. The third edition of the KILM includes interactive software which duplicates the printed book but allows for data updates every six months. |
