数据集介绍

构建方式

该数据集源自国际劳工组织（ILO）旗下的ILOSTAT核心统计数据库。数据通过调用ILOSTAT REST API直接获取，并依据亚洲ISO3国家代码进行精准过滤。原始数据基于各国劳动力调查、家庭收入调查等微观数据，经过国际劳工统计学家会议（ICLS）定义的标准进行统一协调与整合，最终汇聚成涵盖15,295条观测值、横跨36个亚洲国家、时间跨度为1970年至2025年的就业数据集。数据集由Electric Sheep Asia重新打包为Parquet格式，以提升机器学习的可访问性。

特点

该数据集聚焦于青年就业，以性别（男、女、总计）、年龄段（如15-29岁青年组）及在校状况三个维度进行精细拆解，提供了单一核心指标“青年就业人数（千人）”。数据集时间跨度长达半个多世纪，覆盖36个亚洲国家，观测值超过1.5万条，来源标注清晰，便于追溯。数据质量经过ILO的“最佳来源”筛选，并附带有观测状态标记（如不可靠）及方法变更注释，确保了专业性与可靠性，尤其适用于跨国、跨时段的青年就业比较分析。

使用方法

该数据集已集成至Hugging Face Datasets库，用户可通过一行Python代码 `load_dataset()` 快速加载至Pandas DataFrame进行探索。典型应用包括按国家筛选特定时间序列，或利用核心指标字段进行长期趋势的可视化分析。同时，数据支持透视表操作，可轻松构建国家与年份的交叉矩阵，为宏观面板回归或时序预测等任务提供了干净、规整的基础。此外，数据集内嵌的丰富分类变量（如性别、年龄）使得分组对比分析变得直观便捷。

背景与挑战

背景概述

该数据集由国际劳工组织（ILO）于2025年通过其核心统计数据库ILOSTAT发布，经Electric Sheep Asia整理并托管于HuggingFace平台，旨在提供亚洲地区青年就业的精细化解构。数据集核心聚焦于青年（通常为15-29岁）在不同性别、年龄及就学状态下的就业人数（单位：千），涵盖36个亚洲国家从1970年至2025年的15,295条观测记录。作为全球劳动统计的权威来源，ILOSTAT的数据被广泛应用于劳动力市场分析、可持续发展目标（SDGs）监测及跨国比较研究，为探讨教育与就业间的复杂关联提供了必不可少的量化基础。该数据集的发布弥补了亚洲地区高粒度青年就业时序数据的空白，推动了相关领域的实证研究进展。

当前挑战

该数据集所解决的领域核心挑战在于，如何准确捕捉并量化亚洲发展中国家青年群体中普遍存在的非正规就业、性别鸿沟以及教育与就业的替代或互补关系，这些问题常因数据粒度不足而被掩盖。在构建过程中，面临的挑战包括：整合来自36个国家多种调查来源（如劳动力调查、行政记录）的异构数据，并依据国际劳工统计学家大会（ICLS）标准进行统一归化；处理因方法论修订、来源变更或数据不可靠带来的时序断裂与质量标识（如‘U’不可靠状态、‘Break in series’标记）；以及确保在不同时间跨度（1970-2025）和国家间，分类维度（性别、年龄组、就学状况）的一致性与可比性。

常用场景

经典使用场景

在劳动经济学与教育经济学交叉领域，该数据集常被用于探讨青年就业与受教育状态之间的动态关联。研究者可借助其按性别、年龄及就学状态精细划分的就业指标，构建面板数据模型，以揭示不同教育参与水平下青年劳动力市场的结构性特征。例如，通过对比在学青年与离校青年的就业率差异，可以评估教育对就业的推迟效应，或分析性别维度下的就业机会不平等现象。该数据的时间跨度涵盖1970年至2025年，为长周期的时间序列分析提供了坚实基础，尤其适合用于研究亚洲地区经济转型过程中青年就业模式的演变规律。

实际应用

在国际组织与各国劳动部门中，该数据集被广泛应用于劳动力市场监测与政策模拟。国际劳工组织（ILO）自身利用这些数据编制年度《全球青年就业趋势》报告，追踪亚洲各国青年就业目标的实现进度。国家级统计机构可借助该数据基准化本国青年就业状况，识别需要干预的重点群体——例如，当数据显示某国女性青年就业率持续低于男性且随年龄增长差距扩大时，政府可针对性设计技能培训或育儿支持政策。此外，非营利组织在申请项目资助时，常引用该数据集中的性别与就学维度数据，以论证其干预方案（如‘重返校园计划’或‘青年创业扶持’）的必要性与预期影响。

衍生相关工作

围绕该数据集已涌现出一系列具有影响力的衍生研究。在方法论层面，有学者基于其长时间序列特征提出了贝叶斯结构时间序列模型，用于预测未观测年份的青年就业率，并量化‘阿拉伯之春’等政治事件对青年劳动力市场的冲击效应。在实证层面，一项发表于《Journal of Development Economics》的研究利用该数据集的性别分项发现，亚洲制造业的扩张显著缩小了青年男女的就业差距，但该效应仅适用于离校青年，而在校青年中性别差异未见改善。此外，多家研究机构以该数据集为训练集，开发了面向东南亚国家的青年失业风险预警系统，通过机器学习模型识别高脆弱性地区，为提前部署就业援助提供了数据驱动的决策支持。
