International Labor Organization Convention “On Labor Statistics” (No 160, 1985): Expedience of the Complete Ratification by Ukraine
Journal Title: Статистика України - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 2
Abstract
The seasons for ultimate ratification of the Convention of the International Labor Organization No 160 “On Labor Statistics” from 1985 are grounded . The essence of the Convention is explicated, ideological constraints for its ratification, existing in times of the USSR, are outlined. The Convention contains 9 essential chapters, of which only four has been ratified by Ukraine so far: 7 (employment); 8 (distribution of economically active population); 9 (average salary and duration of working time); 10 (structure of salary) . The chapters not ratified are either ones in mismatch with the political and economic ideas dominating in the USSR (chapters dealing with cost of workforce, strikes), or ones on which statistical data were classified, or ones pertaining to statistical data measuring the events that were supposedly nonexistent in the USSR There are 5 chapters yet to be ratified by Ukraine: 11 (cost of workforce); 11 (consumer price indexes, or inflation); 12 (incomes and expenditures of households); 13 (production traumatism and professional deceases); 15 (labor conflicts, or strikes) . The Convention is, therefore, still ratified by Ukraine only partly. The interpretation of this situation in the political context is that Ukraine has failed to change the negative view of the major part of the Convention’s chapters, which is an evidence of out-date political standing. The contents of nine essential chapters of the Convention and their implementing in the Ukrainian official statistics are discussed in the historic and contemporary perspective . It is shown that Ukraine has the necessary background for ultimate ratification of this Convention, which, above all, is expected to be a step forward to the EU membership and a contribution in reforms of the national statistics
