The Committee notes the information and statistics provided by the Government in reply to its previous 2013 direct request concerning Articles 2, 3, 9 and 10 of the Convention. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information on any changes made with regards to the application of these provisions.
Article 7 of the Convention. Employment, unemployment and underemployment statistics. The Committee notes that the statistics resulting from the continuous Labour Force Survey are made available to the public through the website of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, including the relevant methodological information. The Committee invites the Government to keep the ILO informed of any developments towards the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization, adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013).
Article 8. Statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population. In reply to the 2013 direct request, the Government provides methodological information on the 2011 Population Census. The Committee invites the Government to keep the ILO informed of any developments towards the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization.
Article 14. Statistics of occupational injuries. The Government indicates that all employers are required to report every occupational accident to the National Health Insurance Fund, which thus has information on accidents resulting in an absence from work of more than one day. The Committee notes that the collection of statistics of occupational accidents follows the methodology prescribed by the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW). It recalls that the ESAW methodology requires the reporting of accidents resulting in an absence from work longer than three days, while the Resolution concerning statistics of occupational injuries adopted by the 16th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 1998) recommends that statistics cover injuries causing an absence from work of at least one day, excluding the day of the accident, and fatal injuries. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide the ILO with available information on statistics of occupational accidents derived from the National Health Insurance Fund database.
Article 15. Statistics of industrial disputes. The Committee notes that the ILO Department of Statistics received, through the chapter on strikes and lockouts of its annual questionnaire, some statistics on industrial disputes referring to the year 2012. The Committee invites the Government to continue to regularly provide the ILO with statistics on strikes and lockouts (number of strikes and lockouts, workers involved in strikes and lockouts, and days not worked due to strikes and lockouts).
