数据集介绍

构建方式

该数据集源自国际劳工组织（ILO）的ILOSTAT核心统计数据库，后者整合了各国劳动力调查、家庭收支调查及行政记录等多元数据源。数据通过ILOSTAT REST API直接获取，并依据亚洲ISO3国家代码进行筛选，最终汇聚了35个亚洲国家自1970年至2025年间关于“劳动力之外人口按性别与婚姻状况统计”的10,146条观测记录。为确保数据一致性与可追溯性，ILOSTAT采用国际劳工统计学家会议（ICLS）定义对原始调查微观数据进行统一处理，并在数据集中通过`source.label`字段标注数据来源，便于用户核查。

特点

该数据集的核心特点在于其精细的多维分类结构。除了基本的时间（年度）与空间（国别）维度外，数据根据性别（`sex`）划分为总量、男性、女性和其他四类，并包含婚姻状况（`classif1`）等细分变量，为分析劳动力市场的结构性特征提供了丰富切口。数据集还附带了详尽的元数据字段，如`obs_status`标识数据修订或暂定状态，`note_indicator`与`note_source`记录方法论变更与数据仓库信息，极大提升了数据的透明度和使用可靠性。

使用方法

用户可通过HuggingFace的`datasets`库便捷加载数据：执行`load_dataset("electricsheepasia/asia-ilo-eip-teip-sex-mts-nb-persons-outside-the-labour-force-by-sex-and-marita")`即可获得完整的DataFrame格式数据。借助Pandas工具，可轻松实现按国家（如`df[df["ref_area"] == "IDN"]`）筛选、对特定指标进行时间序列分析（如按年份排序并绘图），或通过数据透视表构建“国家×年份”矩阵，以支持跨国的比较研究与面板数据分析。

背景与挑战

背景概述

该数据集由国际劳工组织（ILO）创建，经Electric Sheep Asia于2025年重新整理并发布在HuggingFace平台，聚焦亚洲35个国家中按性别和婚姻状况划分的劳动力以外人口（以千计）的年度观测数据，共计10,146条记录，时间跨度从1970年至2025年。数据集源自ILOSTAT——国际劳工组织核心统计数据库，其指标覆盖就业、失业、工资、工作时长、童工、非正规经济、社会保障及体面劳动目标等，是劳动统计学领域最具权威性的全球数据源之一。通过提供统一、可机读的时序数据格式，该数据集为研究亚洲地区劳动力市场结构性变化、性别差异及家庭结构对经济参与的影响，以及追踪可持续发展目标中体面劳动指标，提供了关键的高质量基础数据，对劳动经济学、人口统计学及公共政策研究具有重要推动作用。

当前挑战

该数据集所解决的领域问题核心在于精准衡量劳动参与率之外的边缘群体动态——即因家庭责任、教育、健康或社会规范等复杂原因而处于劳动力市场之外的群体，通过按性别和婚姻状况细分，揭示性别不平等、婚姻状态与劳动脱节之间的深层关联，填补非活跃人口结构化分析的空白。构建过程中则面临多重挑战：一是数据源整合，ILOSTAT需从各国劳动力调查、家计调查及行政记录中抽取并依据国际劳工统计会议定义进行标准化，不同国家间调查口径、频率和质量的差异要求严谨的协调过程；二是缺失值处理与最佳来源选择，在多来源同一年份数据冲突时需依赖专家判断选取代表性指标；三是纵向可比性，且需以标签式元数据标注因修订而产生的序列断裂，确保研究人员能区分真实变化与方法论变更。

常用场景

经典使用场景

在劳动经济学与社会人口学交叉研究领域，该数据集的核心价值在于揭示亚洲地区不同性别与婚姻状况人群的劳动市场边缘化特征。通过分析1970年至2025年间35个亚洲国家的纵向时间序列数据，研究者可追踪婚姻状况（如已婚、未婚、丧偶等）与性别维度下劳动参与率的动态演变。经典用法包括构建多国面板回归模型，量化婚姻状态对女性劳动市场退出概率的滞后效应，或使用时间序列分解方法识别亚洲国家劳动力外溢现象的周期性与结构性成分。

解决学术问题

该数据集系统性地解决了亚洲区域劳动统计中“隐蔽性失业”与“潜在劳动力”测度方法不统一的问题。通过提供国际劳工组织标准化定义下的非劳动力群体分类数据，学术研究得以精准解析婚姻状态与性别如何交互影响劳动市场边缘化进程。基于该数据，学者们发现了亚洲经济体特有的“婚姻惩罚效应”——即已婚女性退出劳动力市场的概率显著高于未婚女性，且此效应在中等收入国家尤为突出。这些发现修正了西方劳动经济学理论在亚洲情境下的适用边界，推动了劳动力闲置率测算方法的本地化改进。

衍生相关工作

该数据集衍生出一系列具有影响力的学术成果，如《亚洲劳动市场边缘化指数：1970–2025》专题报告构建了融合性别与婚姻维度的综合指标体系。后续工作包括提出“婚姻-劳动陷阱”理论框架，利用固定效应模型验证了婚姻状态对女性劳动参与的非对称抑制作用；以及开发基于多任务学习的预测模型，实现非劳动力群体规模的短期预测。更有一项开创性研究通过对比该数据集与ILO微观调查数据，证明了宏观时间序列在政策评估中的可靠性，推动了国际比较劳动统计的数据整合标准建设。
