Article 7 of the Convention. Statistics of the economically active population, employment and unemployment. The Committee notes that Gibraltar does not compile current statistics on employment and unemployment that are representative of the territory as a whole. Statistics on non-agricultural paid employment are compiled from establishment surveys, and current unemployment statistics are compiled from administrative sources, with the latest figures referring to 2014. Unemployment data is regularly updated from administrative registers. The Committee requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the concepts, definitions and methodology used to collect and compile official statistics of the economically active population, employment and unemployment in Gibraltar (Articles 5 and 6 of the Convention), as well as any plans for conducting the next round of the population census.
Article 8. Structure and distribution of the economically active population. The Committee notes that the Government of Gibraltar carried out a population census in 2012. The Committee notes that census data and methodological information relating to the 2012 census has been supplied to the ILO Department of Statistics for publication on the ILOSTAT database. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any developments in relation to the implementation of the Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization (Resolution I), adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (October 2013).
Article 9(2). Compilation of statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work. The Government indicates that the statistics currently collected provide information on average weekly hours and average weekly earnings for full- and part-time employees by sector, nationality, industry and occupation. However, statistics relating to monthly hours worked are not available for monthly-paid employees and no changes are being envisaged to provide that data. The Committee requests that the Government provide information in its next report on the measures envisaged to compile and publish statistics on rates of wages per hour and the normal working hours by occupation or group of occupations and other characteristics, in accordance with the guidelines provided in Paragraphs 4(1) and (2) of the Labour Statistics Recommendation, 1985 (No. 170).
Articles 10 and 11. Statistics of wage structure and distribution of labour cost. The Committee notes that the Government continues to compile yearly statistics on the wage structure and distribution of employees according to levels of average annual earnings, by sex and type of occupation. In respect of Article 11, the Committee notes that labour cost statistics are currently not compiled. The Committee once again reiterates its request that the Government take the necessary measures to implement Article 11 of the Convention, taking into account the resolution adopted by the 11th International Conference on Labour Statistics in October 1966, as well as Paragraphs 6(1) and (2) of Recommendation No. 170.
Article 13. Household income and expenditure. According to the Government’s report, a Family Expenditure Survey was conducted in 2008–09, but the results of the survey are not yet published. The Committee invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the results of the Family Expenditure Survey as well as any available relevant methodological information. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide information regarding any developments in relation to future family expenditure, and household income and expenditure surveys.
Article 14. Statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases. The Government indicates that pursuant to the Employment Injuries (Claims) Regulations, all claims for an employment injury benefit must be made in writing to the Director for Social Security on the form approved by the Director, who is thus able to compile these statistics without requiring any input from representative bodies. The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report statistics on reported occupational injuries and diseases derived from the records of the Directorate for Social Security.
Article 15. Statistics of industrial disputes. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government based upon the number of claim forms filed with the Industrial Tribunal in Gibraltar from 2011 to 2015. The Committee requests the Government to supply comprehensive statistics on industrial disputes, by economic activity, if such statistics are available and, if not, to provide information about any measures taken or envisaged for improving the compilation of statistics on strikes and lockouts.
