The Global Labour Market Fact Sheet is developed by the World Employment Confederation, gathering statistics from various international organisations, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
It provides a fact-based picture of some of the most relevant indicators of global labour markets:
- Working age population
- Labour force participation rate
- Unemployment rates in various regions (Global, EU28, OECD, North America, MENA and APAC)
- Productivity and wage evolution
- Employment by sector
- Informal employment
- Labour relationships in EU28
- Types of labour countracts by country groups
It additionally offers insight into the developments and trends of recent years while also comparing the different regions of the world. The fact sheet will be regularly updated as new data becomes available.
