Papers Presented in Third Meeting

  

In his presentation onLabour Data in Latin America’, Dr. B. Herman recognising that at long last, discussions on definitions are finally finished, over and done, advocated for heading towards getting on with the job, namely, the timely delivery of time-series on Latin American labour force statistics split into formal and informal. These time-series are to be based on regularly administered surveys (preferably annual) which are of national coverage and structured according to methodologies consistent over time and across countries in accordance with the 15th ICLS. The author emphasised the mobilisation of stakeholders in order to achieve that. For this purpose, it was suggested that the statistical institutions should maintain permanent cells/units for regular contacts between users and producers of data.
