数据集介绍

构建方式

该数据集源自国际劳工组织（ILO）的ILOSTAT中央统计数据库，通过其REST API直接提取指标代码为EIP_TEIP_SEX_AGE_MTS_NB的原始数据。随后，数据经过地理范围筛选，仅保留亚洲地区ISO3国家代码的观测记录，并利用国际劳工统计学家会议（ICLS）的定义对各国劳动调查微观数据进行协调统一。最终，由Electric Sheep Asia团队将标准化后的数据封装为Parquet格式，发布在HuggingFace平台上，确保数据即用性。

特点

数据集包含153,769条观测记录，覆盖1970年至2025年间亚洲35个国家，聚焦于“劳动力市场以外的按性别、年龄和婚姻状况划分的人员（千人）”这一单一指标。其显著特点在于提供了细粒度的分类维度，如性别（总、男、女、其他）以及年龄和婚姻状况的分层变量。每条记录还附带了数据来源标签、观测状态标志和系列中断说明等元数据，有助于研究人员评估数据质量和进行可追溯性分析。

使用方法

用户可通过HuggingFace的`datasets`库直接加载数据集，使用`load_dataset`函数即可获取包含全部字段的DataFrame。数据分析可采用多种方式：按国家代码过滤以聚焦特定区域，如印度尼西亚；按时间序列对单一指标进行可视化分析，揭示长期趋势；或利用透视表功能构建国家×年份的数值矩阵，便于进行跨国比较或面板数据建模。数据集的标准化模式使其适用于表格分类、回归和时间序列预测任务。

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ILOSTAT数据库整理发布，并由Electric Sheep Asia重新打包，聚焦于亚洲35个国家中按性别、年龄和婚姻状况划分的劳动力市场外围人口（即未参与劳动力市场的人口）统计数据。数据集涵盖1970年至2025年间共153,769条观测，涉及一个核心指标——劳动力未充分利用的度量，旨在为劳动经济学、人口统计学及社会发展研究提供精细化的面板数据支撑。作为ILOSTAT全球劳动力统计体系在亚洲区域的子集，它整合了各国劳动力调查、家庭收入调查及行政记录等多元来源，经ILO统计部门依据国际劳工统计学家会议（ICLS）定义进行标准化处理，为区域劳动力市场结构演变、非劳动参与人群构成及其社会经济决定因素的研究提供了权威且可追溯的数据基础。该数据集在亚洲劳动经济研究中具有重要影响力，尤其为性别差异、年龄分层及婚姻状况对劳动力脱离现象的影响机制分析提供了关键实证材料。

当前挑战

该数据集面临的核心领域挑战在于如何精准刻画亚洲各国劳动力市场外围人群的复杂构成及其动态变化。由于各国经济发展水平、社会保障体系及文化规范存在显著差异，按性别、年龄和婚姻状况划分的劳动力非参与原因（如照料责任、教育追求、健康问题或就业绝望）难以通过单一统计指标完整捕捉，这增加了跨国比较和时序推断的难度。构建过程中，数据整合面临多重挑战：首先，多源数据（如劳动力调查、行政记录）在采集方式、定义口径和参考周期上不统一，需要ILO进行复杂的协调与标准化处理，部分观测因数据质量被标注为“不可靠”；其次，各国观测年份分布不均匀（如印度始于1994年，而柬埔寨始于1996年），加之俄罗斯等亚洲国家数据缺失，导致面板数据存在显著的稀疏性与时序不连贯性；此外，分类维度（如年龄分组“15岁及以上青年/成人”与婚姻状况的细分组合）存在空值，且指标注释中频繁出现的“中断系列：方法修订”（如注释I11:264）揭示出因调查方法更新引发的时序断点，进一步增加了趋势分析的复杂性。

常用场景

经典使用场景

在劳动经济学与人口统计学交叉领域，该数据集的核心价值在于为亚太地区劳动力市场边缘群体研究提供了长达半个世纪的面板数据。研究人员可据此追踪1970至2025年间35个亚洲国家中因性别、年龄与婚姻状况而游离于劳动力市场之外的群体规模变化，尤其适用于构建时间序列预测模型以分析非经济活动人口的结构性演变规律。基于‘其他劳动力利用不足’这一独特视角，该数据支持对隐性失业、沮丧工人效应及家庭内部劳动供给决策等经典议题进行实证检验，常被用于验证生命周期假说与代际劳动参与理论在亚洲情境下的适用性。

实际应用

在政策制定与国际比较领域，该数据集已成为亚洲各国劳动部门评估劳动力市场韧性的重要分析工具。国际劳工组织依托其开展区域劳动力利用不足状况的周期性诊断，支持各国制定针对性的激活政策——例如通过识别因婚姻约束而长期脱离职场的女性群体规模，设计弹性工作制与育儿补贴方案。在商业领域，人力资源咨询公司据此预测不同人口特征群体的潜在劳动力供给弹性，辅助跨国企业进行亚洲新兴市场的用工策略布局。此外，机器学习工程师利用其标准化的面板结构训练多任务预测模型，实现对各国非经济活动人口规模的实时预警。

衍生相关工作

基于该数据集的基础架构，研究者已衍生出多项标志性工作：国际劳工组织每季度发布的《亚洲劳动力市场趋势报告》直接引用其非经济活动人口细分数据作为核心论据；伦敦政治经济学院团队利用其时间跨度特性，构建了‘婚姻挤压’与女性劳动参与率的纵向关联模型，发表于《人口经济学杂志》；世界银行‘劳动力市场政策影响评估’项目将其与家庭微观调查数据融合，发展出预测公共政策对边缘群体重返劳动市场效果的因果推断框架。OpenAI的全球经济预测基准中也纳入了该数据集的时序特征，用于训练长序列经济指标预测模型。
