Press Release 11 December 2013
Long-term unemployment, the new challenge for many countries
Job seekers are finding it increasingly difficult to secure a new job within six months or less, according to the new edition of the ILO's “Key Indicators of the Labour Market”.
http://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/newsroom/news/WCMS_232094/lang--en/index.htm
A multi-functional research tool of the ILO consisting of country-level data on 18 key indicators of the labour market from 1980 to the latest available year.
What is the KILM?
The Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM) the ILO’s research tool for labour market information. The first KILM was released in 1999. It has since become a flagship product of the International Labour Office (ILO) and is used on a daily basis by researchers and policy-makers throughout the world.
The KILM:
- is a comprehensive database of country-level data on 18 key indicators of the labour market (listed below) from 1980 to the latest available year. In this context, the KILM can serve as a tool for policy-makers and researchers in monitoring and assessing many of the pertinent issues related to the functioning of labour markets.
- is a source of the latest ILO world and regional estimates of employment and unemployment indicators. The estimates are presented in a box in each indicator’s manuscript along with an analysis of the global and regional trends and data.
- is a training tool on development and use of labour market indicators. Each indicator is accompanied by descriptions of the standard international definition of the concept and measurement procedures, guidelines on how the indicator can be used in analyses of labour market issues, and words of caution on comparability limitations. Readers are guided on the value of using multiple indicators to develop a broader view of labour market developments.
The KILM 8th Edition is now available
With three electronic formats available – interactive software, online database and Excel add-in – accessing the country-level data for the 18 key labour market indicators, nine tables of world and regional aggregates, and descriptive text explaining the indicators’ use and definitions is easier than ever. These electronic products are updated on a regular basis.
