This is the 63rd edition of the annual publication which contains key labour statistics for over 190 countries, areas or territories, mostly covering the period 1994 to 2003. The data are grouped under nine chapters relating to: the economically active population; employment; unemployment; hours of work; wages; labour cost; consumer prices; occupational injuries; strikes and lockouts. The data are drawn mainly from information from national statistical services or taken from official publications. Each chapter includes explanatory notes, and the text is in English, French and Spanish.
The Human Development Report, now in its seventh edition, updates the unique Human Development Indicators comparing human development in most countries of the world, and the data tables on all aspects of human development. The special focus of this edition is on the important link between economic growth and human development. The Report maintains that the link is not automatic but can be established through proper policy management, arguing the case for initiating and accelerating economic growth and at the same time accelerating and sustaining human development in different parts of the world. The Report also maintains that the quality of growth is as important as its quantity; otherwise, growth can be jobless, voiceless, ruthless, rootless, and futureless. It identifies employment as an important instrument in translating the benefits of economic growth into people's lives.An indispensable resource for courses in international development, the Report ranks 174 countries according to the Human Development Index (HDI). It also gives the global ranking of more than 100 countries in terms of Gender-Related Development Index (GDI) and the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM). The first index represents HDI, taking into account gender inequality in capabilities, and the second represents female opportunities in selected economic and political areas. New to this edition is the Capability Poverty Measure (CPM), which is used as an alternative to the traditional income poverty measure. The Report concludes that the future challenge is how to forge and sustain the desired kind of linkage between economic growth and human development in a globalized world which represents both opportunities and threats for the nations of the world.
Since its first edition in 1935-36, the Yearbook of Labour Statistics has established itself as the world's foremost work of statistical reference on labor questions. The comprehensive volume brings together in systematic form a mass of data from a vast network of authoritative sources in 190 countries. Data are published, wherever possible, according to the latest versions of the following international standard classifications: International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 3; International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88); International Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-93) and the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), 1976. Time Series contains 31 tables corresponding to nine major substantive chapters on economically active population, employment, unemployment, hours of work, wages, labor cost, consumer prices, occupational injuries, and strikes and lockouts for the preceding ten years. This trilingual volume (in English, French, and Spanish), along with its companion book, Yearbook of Labour Statistics: Country Profiles, will be a valuable resource for labor statisticians, specialists in labor market policy, economists, governments, employers' and workers' organizations, and researchers.
