Worker, employer and government delegates from the ILO’s Member States will tackle a wide range of issues that have a long-term impact on the world of work, including:
- Past and planned statistical activities of the ILO since the last ICLS in October 2018.
- A revision of the standards for statistics on informality.
- Examination of concepts, statistical definitions and measurement methods of issues relevant for decent work, including indicators relating to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; violence and harassment at work; International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08); international labour migration; child labour; forced labour; and cooperatives.
Alongside the plenary discussions held during the entire duration of the Conference, a committee will be working on revising the statistical standards on informality. While the plenary and side and special events are open to the public, the work of the committee is closed to the public and the media.
Side events will be held every day at 13:00, exploring diverse issues such as south-south and triangular co-operation in Lusophone countries, and gender in informality statistics.
On the afternoon of Thursday 19 October, a special event on digital platform employment will be held, followed by a panel on Measuring Social Justice, which will be attended by many preeminent figures in the world of official statistics.
Details of the ICLS agenda, reports, room documents and other information are available on the ICLS website.
