Employment by sex, age and status in employment (thousands)

With the aim of promoting international comparability, statistics presented on ILOSTAT are based on standard international definitions wherever feasible and may differ from official national figures. This series is based on the 13th ICLS definitions. For time series comparability, it includes countries that have implemented the 19th ICLS standards, for which data are also available in the Work Statistics -- 19th ICLS (WORK) database. The employed comprise all persons of working age who, during a specified brief period, were in one of the following categories: a) paid employment (whether at work or with a job but not at work); or b) self-employment (whether at work or with an enterprise but not at work). Data disaggregated by status in employment are provided according to the latest version of the International Standard Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-93). Data may have been regrouped from the national classifications, which may not be strictly compatible with ICSE. For more information, refer to the Labour Force Statistics (LFS and STLFS) database description.

为提升国际可比性，国际劳工组织统计数据库（ILOSTAT）所发布的统计数据在可行范围内均采用标准国际定义，且可能与各国官方统计数据存在差异。本数据集系列采用第13届国际劳工统计大会（ICLS）的定义编制。为保障时间序列的可比性，本数据集纳入了已采用第19届ICLS标准的国家，此类国家的相关数据亦可在《就业统计——第19届ICLS（WORK）》数据库中获取。
就业人员指在特定短时段内符合以下任一类别之劳动年龄人口：a）有偿就业（无论当前是否在岗，即有工作但未出勤）；或b）自营就业（无论当前是否开展经营，即拥有企业但未营业）。
本数据集提供按就业地位拆分的数据，分类依据为最新版《国际就业地位标准分类（ICSE-93）》。相关数据可能已从各国分类标准重新归集，此类分类标准未必与ICSE完全兼容。
