Migrant Workers
Ongoing methodological work:=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO will continue its methods development in the field of = migration statistics.=20
=E2=80=A2 Participation in various statistical workshops, such as the me= etings of the European-Asian Programme on Forced Displacement and Migration= (EAP) on the subject of data collection, exchange, and registration; UN ex= pert group meetings; ECE/US Census Bureau/World Bank sponsored conference o= n using household surveys to measure remittances.=20
Data collection:=20
=E2=80=A2 The International Migration Data Base has been largely revised=
and will continue to be updated in 2010, in close cooperation with other i=
nternational and regional entities. It is available on the ILO data warehou=
se at http://la=
Economically active population=20
=E2=80=A2 Estimates and projections of the economically active populatio= n and activity rates by age, sex and sector have been published since 1971.= The most recent edition of the Estimates and Projections of economically a= ctive population in 2009 provides estimates and projections for the period = 1980 2020 for 191 countries and territories and 29 economic and geographica= l grouping (available at http://laborsta.ilo.org). Work on its update will continue in= 2010.=20
Labour Statistics<= /span>
Rural Employment Statistics=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO and FAO will seek to collaborate on a joint venture to= measure rural employment with a view to fully assessing the presence of ag= riculture and agricultural labour in strategies for development. The ILO ha= s drawn attention to the importance of statistical information on employmen= t and work in agriculture, describing how the agricultural census can be ad= apted as a collection tool to provide countries with such essential informa= tion. This is of particular interest to countries (including Eastern Europe= and CIS countries) where special surveys of agricultural labour may not be= in place.=20
=E2=80=A2 ILO will supplement its earlier contributions to this work &qu= ot;"Guidelines on Employment, Supplement to the Programme for the Worl= d Census of Agriculture 2000", FAO Statistical Development Series 5a) = prepared together with the FAO Statistics Division. The focus on agricultur= al and non-agricultural labour in 2010 may also broaden coverage from not o= nly economic activity, as defined and measured within the production bounda= ry of the United Nations System of National Accounts, but also encompass wo= rk in unpaid services in rural households and agricultural holdings for own= -consumption.=20
Volunteer work=20
=E2=80=A2 A manual on measuring volunteer work will be finalised after a=
meeting of the Technical Expert Group to be held in 2010. Its recommendati=
ons will be applied in a number of pilot countries in the coming years.
Ongoing methodological work==20
Working Time=20
=E2=80=A2 Following the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisti=
cians' adoption in December 2008 of the Resolution on the Measurement of Wo=
rking Time which provides a comprehensive measurement of time spent on work=
in today's world, the ILO Department of Statistics will collaborate with s=
elected pilot countries. Follow up work has so far been requested in the La=
tin American region, to be explored further in 2010. Experience in the EU r=
egion will be sought where available so as to create synergies.
=E2= =80=A2 Based on the adopted scope and objectives of working time, trial mea= surements carried out through household-based labour force surveys using re= commended methods may specifically relate to working time activities within= the SNA production boundary - including employment statistics and national= production accounts, as well as to activities beyond the SNA production bo= undary - including "unpaid household and volunteer service work".=
Measurement of decent work and quality of employment=20
=E2=80=A2 As a follow-up to the national Tripartite Workshop on the prep=
aration of the pilot Decent Work Profile of Ukraine (Kiev, August 2009), te=
chnical assistance will be provided to the Ministry of Labour and State Sta=
tistics Committee on the measurement of occupational wages within the ILO/E=
C project Monitoring and Assessing Progress on Decent Work (MAP).
=E2= =80=A2 Work will begin on the collection and publication of some of the key= ILO decent work indicators.
Forced labour=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO has developed a database on forced labour, which relie= s on secondary sources and includes information on reported cases. In 2005,= this database was used to calculate the ILO's first global estimate of the= total number of forced labour victims in the world. The ILO is also focusi= ng on technical cooperation for developing reliable national statistics at = the country-level, and providing benchmarks by which progress can be measur= ed over time. Five countries from different regions have initially been sel= ected for producing these national estimates, guided by the recommendations= from a workshop held in December 2006. Following a review, more countries = will be selected. The findings for a wider range of countries will be asses= sed in the 2010.=20
Data collection
Since its establishment over 90 y= ears ago, the ILO has been collecting and disseminating statistics on a wid= e array of labour topics. The ILO central data warehouse for labour statist= ics is LABORSTA. All the series described below can be accessed at http://laborsta.ilo.or= g
=E2=80=A2 Annual data on the economically active population, employment,=
unemployment, hours of work, wages, labour cost, consumer price indices, o=
ccupational injuries and strikes and lockouts are collected regularly for d=
issemination in the ILO Yearbook of Labour Statistics, by CD-ROM and on the=
LABORSTA website which is updated each month. Descriptions of the methods =
used to compile these statistics are produced and disseminated in the Sourc=
es and Methods: Labour Statistics series of publications, by CD-ROM and on =
the LABORSTA website. Beginning in 2006, the Yearbook has been published in=
two volumes: Volume 1 has time series for each country usu=
ally covering the preceding ten years, and (ii) Volume 2 has a "countr=
y profile" format showing the latest available labour statistics for e=
ach country.
=E2=80=A2 Monthly, quarterly or biannual data on employm= ent, unemployment, hours of work, wages and consumer price indices have bee= n collected regularly for dissemination in the ILO Bulletin of Labour Stati= stics. A review of the topics and methods of data collection for short-term= indicators is foreseen for 2010.
=E2=80=A2 Following the 2008 financ= ial crisis which rapidly deteriorated the labour market situation in many c= ountries, the ILO started to publish in December 2008 selected statistics o= n employment, unemployment, wages, hours of work, and consumer prices at th= e country level for which data are produced on a monthly or quarterly basis= . These indicators have been selected for their ability to reflect recent a= nd short-term changes. The data are updated and disseminated each month in = the online Monthly Bulletin on Labour Information, available on the ILO's J= ob Crisis Observatory webpage http://www.ilo.org/pls/apex/f?p=3D109:1:0<= /a> . The monthly Bulletin includes estimates on aggregate-level trends inc= luding global trends for selected indicators.
=E2=80=A2 Statistics on wages, hours of work relating to 159 occupations= in 49 industry groups and of retail prices of 93 food items have been coll= ected regularly with the ILO October Inquiry and disseminated in the public= ation Occupational Wages and Hours of Work and Retail Food Prices - Statist= ics from the ILO October Inquiry, on CD-ROM and on the statistical website.= Major revision of this publication is also planned for 2010. It will inclu= de a revision of (1) the industries and occupations within these industries= for which labour information is to be collected and (2) the labour variabl= es for which data should be collected (including hours, earnings and wages)= .=20
=E2=80=A2 Series on public sector employment for 140 countries, areas an=
d territories are updated with biannual periodicity, the last update having=
taken place in 2009.
=E2=80=A2 A number of other series are updated = less frequently. These include the databases on :
o distribution of e= mployed population by hours of work
o household income and expenditur= e statistics
o informal employment
o employment in the informal= sector
o trade union membership
o labour migration
=E2=80=A2 Comparable data on employment and unemployment are collected e=
ach year as part of the programme on ILO-comparable estimates.
=E2=80= =A2 A new survey to collect information on collective bargaining coverage a= nd trade union density was carried out at the end of 2008. The purpose of t= his survey is to develop statistical indicators of social dialogue and work= place relations.
=E2=80=A2 In addition to expanding the coverage of t= he topics and the coverage of the countries and territories, significant ef= forts are being made to improve the quality of the statisti= cs collected and disseminated and (ii) to reduce the reporting burden on na= tional statistical bodies. The latter includes the collaboration with UNSD = with respect to data sharing of statistics on the economically active popul= ation, the joint data collection with Eurostat for the Member States of the= European Union on strikes and lockouts, and the use of electronic question= naires. The Department of Statistics is working on the possibility of excha= nging data and metadata more rapidly by using SDMX and other electronic mea= ns.
G-20 Labour Market Situation and Outlook Reports=20
=E2=80=A2 Given the ILO's recent status as a full member of the G20, it =
has been actively involved in providing up-to-date information on the impac=
t of the current economic crisis on the labour market for G20 countries. In=
September 2009 the ILO produced a report for the G20 Leaders' Summit in Pi=
ttsburgh, Protecting people, promoting jobs. A survey of country employment=
and social protection policy responses to the global economic crisis. The =
report provided recent G20 country trends in employment and unemployment, w=
ith a discussion of the situation of developing countries as well as a surv=
ey of employment and social protection measures taken by governments to cou=
nter the crisis.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO is currently preparing several new= reports covering a range of labour topics in relation to the crisis for th= e upcoming G20 Labour Ministerial scheduled for April 2010.
The ILO set of Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM)=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO publication Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM)= , first published in 1999, continues to be produced and refined. KILM is pu= blished every other year (the 6th edition was launched in September 2009). = The KILM makes labour market information and analysis easily accessible bas= ed on a core set of 20 labour market indicators from countries around the w= orld.=20
Household Income and Expend= iture
New activities:
=E2=80=A2 Work is being planned o= n the preparation of a technical guide on household income and expenditure = statistics, in collaboration with the International Household Survey Networ= k.
Data collection:
=E2=80=A2 Statistics and metadat= a on household income and expenditure are available at http://laborsta.ilo.org .
Social Security Schemes
1.6 Social Security Schemes=20
=E2=80=A2 The new ILO Social Security Inquiry collects statistics on soc=
ial security expenditure, financing, coverage and benefit levels from both =
developed and developing countries. Its revised methodological approach is =
compatible to the extent possible with SNA, with the EUROSTAT-ESSPROS appro=
ach to social protection revenue, and expenditure statistics, with OECD Soc=
ial Protection Expenditure database and with IMF's 2001 Government Finance =
Statistics guidelines. In addition, coverage and benefit level data are col=
lected and used for constructing coverage indicators. The ILO social securi=
ty inquiry presents an inventory of national social protection schemes in o=
rder to collect data directly from the institutions that manage each of the=
m, especially data on the coverage of the population, contributions and ben=
efit levels and expenditure. In many countries, neither statistical offices=
nor ministries of welfare and social affairs collect data on all social pr=
otection programmes administered by different agencies. Data are collected =
and disseminated through the ILO Social Security Database, which contains a=
n on-line data entry module that is fed by the responsible ministries, stat=
istical offices and institutions administering social security schemes as w=
ell as automatic import utilities to include data from external compatible =
databases (such as SOCX OECD social security expenditure data). A limited a=
nd regularly updated set of indicators on social security expenditure and c=
overage is now available for most Eastern European countries. First results=
for nine countries in South-Eastern Europe are summarized in ILO (2005): S=
ocial Security Spending in South-Eastern Europe, Budapest: ILO.
=E2= =80=A2 Historical data (1949-1993) on revenues and expenditure of social se= curity schemes from 22 European countries are available in a database on-li= ne, developed by EURODATA Research Archive of the Mannheim Centre for Europ= ean Social Research (MZES) in cooperation with the ILO. Data for other coun= tries are available on-line on the ILO website at http://www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/secsoc/areas/stat= /css/index.htm.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO has also published a series of = in-depth reports on social protection, which contain a broad range of stati= stics (Social Protection Expenditure and Performance Reviews - SPER). UNECE= countries covered are Poland and the Slovak Republic.
=E2=80=A2 The = ILO - in cooperation with the Council of Europe - has developed a manual on= statistical data requirements and indicators related to reporting on compl= iance with ILO Convention No. 102 on minimum standards in social security a= nd with the European Code of Social Security.
=E2=80=A2 The Internati= onal Social Security Association (ISSA) continues its work to develop the s= tatistical capacity of its members in developing countries and contributes = to the development of international standards on social security/social pro= tection statistics.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO intends to review and, if neces= sary, propose revisions to further develop the international standards on s= tatistics of social security/social protection as laid down in the Resoluti= on concerning the development of social security statistics, adopted by the= 9th ICLS (1957). This was discussed at the 17th ICLS.
Data collection:
=E2=80=A2 Collection and analysi= s of statistical data on the performance of national social protection sche= mes in certain countries as well as on the extent of coverage by and exclus= ion from social protection (Social Protection Expenditure and Performance R= eviews - SPER).
=E2=80=A2 Collection and analysis of statistical data= on social protection expenditure, financing, coverage and benefit levels, = available on the ILO Social Security Department Databases (with a broader f= ocus than the previous "Inquiry into the Cost of Social Security"= ), see: the Social Security Inquiry http://= www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/secsoc/areas/stat/ssi.htm, the so= cial security expenditure and mechanisms databases (http://www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/secsoc/areas/stat/sso= .htm ) and the ILO socio-economic security database (http://www.ilo.= org/dyn/sesame/ifpses.home).
=E2=80=A2 Collection of detailed sta= tistical data for actuarial valuations of social security schemes.
= =E2=80=A2 Within the framework of the activities on the informal economy, t= he Social Protection Sector is developing a module with a limited number of= questions on social protection to be integrated into the regular household= surveys. This is undertaken by all units in collaboration with the Departm= ent of Statistics with the aim of enhancing the use of this particular sour= ce to collect relevant data on social protection.
=E2=80=A2 Forthcomi= ng book on social security statistics in the ILO's "Quantitative Metho= ds in Social Protection" series.
=E2=80=A2 In collaboration with= the ILO and the United States Social Security Administration, the Internat= ional Social Security Association (ISSA) collects information on the range = of contingencies covered by social security schemes and disseminates it wit= h Social Security Programmes throughout the World (SSPTW) (see http:= //www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssptw) and with the ISSA information= service, Social Security Worldwide. The ISSA also collects data on the leg= al framework and governance of Public Social Insurance Reserve Funds as wel= l as their asset allocation and expenditure.
Trade Unions and Collective Bargaining Agreements
Ongoing methodological work:=20
Questionnaires will be sent to all ILO Member States in July 2010 to col= lect statistics on trade union membership and collective bargaining coverag= e available in national statistics offices and ministries of labour, as wel= l as the corresponding metadata. This collection aims to provide a comprehe= nsive account of available statistical information on these topics and to p= rovide inputs to the ILO for developing international guidelines for their = measurement to enhance their comparability.=20
Informal Economy= span>
Ongoing methodological work:
=E2=80=A2 The ILO is= continuing its methodological work on statistics of informal employment, o= n the basis of the guidelines endorsed by the 17th ICLS (2003) as a supplem= ent to the 15th ICLS resolution concerning statistics of employment in the = informal sector. A technical manual on surveys of informal employment and t= he informal sector is being prepared in cooperation with the Delhi Group. =E2=80=A2 Following a request by the International Labour Conference i= n June 2002, the ILO continues to assist countries in the collection, analy= sis and dissemination of statistics on the informal economy.
=E2=80=A2 Developmental work is under way to produce statistics on coope= ratives in collaboration with COOP. A paper will be finalised in 2010 that = will be published. Measurement of cooperatives will be recommended in ongoi= ng technical assistance to countries.=20
Tourism Statistics
=E2=80=A2 On the basis of an agreement which sets the framework for coop= eration, the ILO and the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) continue collab= orating in the area of employment and decent work in tourism. The agreement= was approved by the ILO Governing Body at its 301st Session (March 2008) a= nd ratified by the General Assembly of the UNWTO. Prior to the agreement, a= new chapter on employment in the tourism industries was prepared and inclu= ded in the 2008 International Recommendations for Tourism Statistics.= =20
=E2=80=A2 The agreement is geared towards (a) improvement of reliability= of data on employment in the tourism industries; (b) setting up and testin= g of a core set of decent work statistical indicators for measuring progres= s towards decent work in the tourism industries; (c) development of interna= tional guidelines on best practices of measuring employment in the tourism = industries.=20
=E2=80=A2 In line with the agreement, a joint ILO/UNWTO publication enti= tled Technical Guide on Best Practices of Measuring Employment in the Touri= sm Industries will be prepared and published in 2010.=20
Social protection expenditu= re and revenues
Ongoing activities:
=E2=80=A2 The ILO Social Secu= rity Inquiry collects statistics on social security expenditure and financi= ng; its methodological approach is compatible as far as possible with the S= NA, the Eurostat-ESSPROS approach to social protection revenue and expendit= ure statistics, the OECD Social Protection Expenditure database and the IMF= 's 2001 Government Finance Statistics guidelines (see 1.6 for more details)= .
=E2=80=A2 The ILO, as a focal point for co= nsumer price indices within the UN system, has continued to:
(i ) col= lect and disseminate annual and monthly consumer price indices for some 200= countries and to produce and disseminate descriptions of the national meth= odologies underlying these indices;
(ii) collect and disseminate data= on food prices through the former ILO October Inquiry; as part of the Depa= rtment of Statistics' revision process, the food prices section of the Octo= ber Inquiry, will also be reviewed in 2010.
(iii) promote implementat= ion of the international standards on CPI; and
(iv) provide technical= assistance to member States.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO continues to actively= participate in the work of the Intersecretariat Working Group on Price Sta= tistics (IWGPS).
(ii) As an agency responsible for the coordination o= f future revisions of the CPI Manual, ILO will continue maintaining the ele= ctronic version of the CPI manual on-line (see http://www.ilo.org/stat/index.htm= ). A number of chapters have already been updated. The webpage contains= the original version, errata and the latest corrected version.
Wage Statistics
Ongoing methodological work:
=E2=80=A2 A manual o= n the measurement of wages will be prepared that will provide guidance conc= erning various concepts of income related to employment (i.e. labour cost, = earnings, wage rates, employment related income, employee income and income= from self employment) as well as guidance on the different approaches to m= easuring wages through establishment and household surveys and administrati= ve records. This manual will be produced in collaboration with other intern= ational organisations and with national statistical institutes.
=E2= =80=A2 Training and technical assistance will continue to be provided on wa= ge statistics.
Data collection:
=E2=80=A2 Data on average wages = by sex and industry, as well as occupational wages and hours of work have b= een collected through the former ILO October Inquiry since 1983 and are ava= ilable on the ILO statistical website (http://laborsta.ilo.org) and on CD-ROM.
= =E2=80=A2 The occupational wages section of the former ILO October Inquiry = (in which data have been collected from all countries on wage rates and nor= mal hours of work, and earnings and hours actually worked/paid for in 159 o= ccupations and 49 industry groups, by sex) is being revised in order to str= eamline the data collection and dissemination process and improve the quali= ty of data collected.
=E2=80=A2 Data on current minimum wages and the= legal framework are regularly compiled and are available on the ILO websit= e at http://www.ilo.org/travaildatabase/servlet/minimumwag= es.

=E2=80=A2 A database on the effect = of civil status and presence of young children on the most important labour= variables will be developed, in coordination with ILO-GENDER.
=E2=80= =A2 Training and technical assistance will continue to be provided on gende= r mainstreaming in statistics.
Child labour=20
Ongoing methodological work=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO has developed a methodology for child labour surveys, =
which has been implemented in almost 70 countries at the national level, in=
cluding 10 countries in the European region. An additional 80 baseline surv=
eys and 100 rapid assessments have been supported, targeting specific issue=
s on child labour in particular geographical locations.
=E2=80=A2 The= ILO has aided national capacity building activities by developing a child = labour data repository, and information sharing among different departments= for national and international policy development.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO= continues to provide technical assistance to national statistics offices a= nd other implementing agencies in order to enhance their capacity and impro= ve the quality of child labour surveys.
=E2=80=A2 The ILO has teamed = up with the World Bank, UNICEF, UNESCO and other international agencies in = an effort to harmonize child labour data, child labour survey instruments, = and child labour research efforts.
=E2=80=A2 International statistica= l measurement standards on child labour were established at the 18th ICLS (= Geneva, 24 November - 5 December 2008).
=E2=80=A2 The ILO is pilot te= sting a methodology for making national level estimates of the worst forms = of child labour other than hazardous forms in selected countries.
=E2= =80=A2 The ILO is working towards preparing a new Global Report on Child La= bour and revised Global Estimates and Trends in Child Labour that will be p= resented at the Hague Global Child Labour Conference scheduled to be held o= n 10 and 11 May 2010.
=E2=80=A2 Training in child labour data collect= ion through rapid assessments and baseline surveys is being provided for bu= ilding national capacities through regional workshops.
Data collection and dissemination:=20
=E2=80=A2 The child labour data collected through ILO supported child la=
bour surveys, is available to interested researchers.
=E2=80=A2 The I= LO data archive on child labour is the largest micro-data repositories on c= hild labour and is continually updated. It provides micro data, meta data, = survey questionnaires, and national reports from ILO supported child labour= surveys and is available on-line at http:/= /www.ilo.org/ipec/ChildlabourstatisticsSIMPOC/lang--en/index.htm
= as well as off-line.
=E2=80=A2 A database system hosted by ILO called= CLInfo, which helps organize and present a set of standardized indicators = on child labour and other children activities (as a variation of DevInfo) h= as been available on-line since October 2009. CLInfo will expand the access= to, and usages of, child labour data from ILO supported surveys, as well a= s raise awareness and assist in informed policy making on child labour.
MDG Indicators
Following the recommendation of the 2005 World Summit and the Report by = the Secretary-General on the Work of the Organization (A/61/1) presented to= the 61st session of the General Assembly a new Target "Achieve full a= nd productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young= people" was included under MDG Goal 1.=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO is responsible for the preparation of statistics and a=
nalysis on trends towards this target. The following four indicators were s=
elected to monitor the progress:
o Growth rate of GDP per person empl= oyed
o Employment-to-population ratio
o Proportion of employed = people living below $1 (PPP) per day
o Proportion of own-account and = contributing family workers in total employment
=E2=80=A2 The existing target on developing decent and productive work f=
or youth, previously under Millennium Development Goal 8, is encompassed by=
the new target (under Goal 1).
=E2=80=A2 In addition to monitoring t= he progress under MDG Goal 1, the ILO continues producing regional and glob= al estimates on one of the gender indicators under MDG Goal 3: Share of wom= en in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector.
=E2=80=A2 ILO w= ill be collecting data on the above MDG indicators.
=E2=80=A2 In March 2008 the Governing Bod= y of the ILO endorsed the report of the December 2007 ILO tripartite Meetin= g of Experts on Labour Statistics, including the resolution adopting the In= ternational Standard Classification of Occupations, 2008 (ISCO-08) as an in= ternational statistical standard.
=E2=80=A2 The ISCO-08 structure is therefore final and is available for = use on the ILO Website in English, French and Spanish. Definitions of categ= ories in the classification have been uploaded to the ILO Website for infor= mation and comment. The index of occupations has been updated and is availa= ble at http://www.ilo.org/public/english/burea= u/stat/isco/isco88/index.htm=20
=E2=80=A2 It is planned to publish in print form the English version of = ISCO-08 in 2010.=20
=E2=80=A2 All inquiries should be addressed to email@example.com=20
Economic characteristics in Population Censuses
=E2=80=A2 The Department of Statistics will be actively promoting the jo= intly published UN Statistics Division/ILO Handbook on the Measurement of t= he Economically Active Population through Population Censuses through train= ing and seminars and providing technical advice, upon request.=20
=E2=80=A2 The ILO's statistical Website (http://laborsta.ilo.org) has continued to =
be maintained and updated on a weekly basis. This site gives users access t=
o a broad range of data contained in the ILO's statistical databases and ma=
kes it possible to view and download information free of charge. The associ=
ated national meta-information for each series is also available on-line on=
the Web site. The website is trilingual in English, French and Spanish, an=
d it will continue to be maintained and developed in these three languages.=
=E2=80=A2 The Department of Statistics website including the LABORST= A application will be reviewed and restructured in 2010 in accordance with = the anticipated changes in data collection methods. The new relational data= base will be interactive, more user-friendly and offer more up-to-date info= rmation on decent work.
=E2=80=A2 In line with the collection of new statistical material, the e= ntire program of dissemination through printed publications and CD-ROMs wil= l be revised and enhanced. The main dissemination tool will be the Departme= nt's new data dissemination website, which will be updated weekly.=20
=E2=80=A2 The possibility of collecting and disseminating data through S= DMX (Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange) will be tested and if successf= ul implemented on a large scale in our related activities.=20
Statistical Policy
=E2=80=A2 The ILO Department of Statistic was established in May 2009, w= hich replaced the former ILO Bureau of Statistics, and is responsible, inte= r alia, for compiling and making available in a timely manner ILO statistic= s on the four pillars of Decent Work. The compilation, quality control and = dissemination of ILO statistical information is now centrally managed and c= oordinated by the Department of Statistics. All statistical methodologies a= nd databases carried out by different units within sectors and regions are = coordinated by the Department of Statistics. All units, regions and sectors= are requested to seek technical clearance from the Department of Statistic= s before disseminating and publishing global and regional statistical data.==20
=E2=80=A2 The Department defines and implements a statistical capacity-b= uilding programme for the Office and its constituents.=20
=E2=80=A2 The Director of the Department of Statistics serves as the ILO= Chief Statistician and is consulted on all matters of data collection, sta= tistical methodologies and major publications and releases of ILO statistic= al information.=20
Statistical Information Collection and Processing
=E2=80=A2 An important effort will be made to collect and disseminate ne= w statistics and indicators, for short term and also annual data.=20
=E2=80=A2 As regards data collection, electronic questionnaires will be = relied upon to a greater extent to collect data on new as well as more trad= itional indicators. Data received through electronic questionnaires will be= automatically uploaded into the database for prompt dissemination. We will= also continue to explore the possibilities of joint data collection with o= ther international agencies (Eurostat, OECD and others), in order to allevi= ate the reporting burden on countries by similar international questionnair= es. The possibility of exchanging data with Eurostat and OECD through SDMX = will also be tested.=20

ItsVery Urgent:Pressure,Heat Convection coeficient
Hi all, I have a question about Heat Transfer (NATURAL CONVECTION) & Air conditioning system. I have a gaseus environment of CO2 gas over a FLAT PLATE. Now Initial conditions are:
1. CO2 gas condition:- Pressure = 1.4 Bar(WHICH IS GREATER THAN ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE), Temperature = 30 Celcius, Relative Humidity = 80%
2. Flate Plate is at tempetareture of 10 C(Celcius)
Now I want to get value of Heat-Transfer Coefficient (h). Is there any relation to calculate this Heat transfer coefficient for NATURAL CONVECTION PROBLEM ?
yours help/suggestions would be appreciable.
Thank you
Re: ItsVery Urgent:Pressure,Heat Convection coefic
Hi dev,
Please let me know whether the flat plate is vertical or horizontal.
Because it makes a difference in natural convection flow and thermal set-up.
Re: ItsVery Urgent:Pressure,Heat Convection coefic
Hi Jay,
This is Vertical Plate. If you need any more data, your most welcome & thanks for ur responce
Re: ItsVery Urgent:Pressure,Heat Convection coefic
hi dev...
here it is... let us assume that the vertical plate is isothermal (in your case, it is 10 C)
Find the material properties (Density, specific heat ,dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity ,Prandtl number) of CO2 at film temperature ((Twall+Tinfinity)/2) at 1 ATM
Using ideal gas law, PV=mRT, find the density at 1.4 bar and subsequently viscosity too... (CO2 can easily be considered as ideal gas law)
Find thermal expansion co-efficient (beta) = 1/Tinfinity where T is in kelvin
Find Grahs-hoff number = (gravity*beta*del T*length of plate along the vertical direction^3)/(kinematic viscosity^2)
find Rayleigh number = Gr*Pr
if it is <10^9, flow is laminar otherwise it is turbulent
Nusselt number = (0.678*Ra^0.25) (Pr/(Pr+0.952))^0.25
Nu = hL/k so h = Nu*k/L

Orange Beach has been named many times as one of the best beaches on the Gulf. The beaches are beautiful sugar white sand. The Guys have become fishing addicts. The 'girls' love the close proximity to beach and great food. The condo at this location is a straight shot to the Gulf and perfect for bay fishing.

Creating Beautiful CommunitiesJune 7, 2013 6:04 pm
This has been an amazing week for Rawfully Organic!
The volunteers this week have been simply AMAZING. Everyone has worked SO hard to help our community come together and to be ONE. We have been working SO hard to make check-outs faster, to make lines shorter, to make sure all newbies know how to pick out their shares, and to simply give hugs! We will continue to make more improvements each co-op day, so please look forward to those.
Rawfully Organic has had so many amazing growth opportunities lately. We have had a new location and several new drop-offs. We have also had several newbies join as well. I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding when things don't go as perfectly as possible. The good news: we are all here to make it work. If you ever have a question or concern, please feel free to ask me. Please suggest improvements. I am here to help us grow with abundance and excitement. My goal is to have things flow smoothly and to create an atmosphere where everyone has fun and feels like family! I want Rawfully Organic to feel like HOME to all of us! We are a family!
The Summer season is here, and we have seen a shift in the crops these past few weeks! Peaches, nectarines, melons, berries, and more have arrived! There are less greens in the boxes and more fruits! The shares may look smaller, but that is only because fruits take up less "space" in the boxes. All of your value is still there and absolutely delicious! I will be posting TONS of new Summer box recipes, so please get ready to share and eat some very yummy treats!

Having arrived some twelve days ago in Murfreesboro, we've done quite a bit. I've been a little delinquent not keeping up my blog. To say we're in Murfreesboro is just a little incorrect.

Our Mortgage payments are paid and so is our taxes butAFTER we alread paid ourpremium in Januarythrewour OWNInsurance company(Farmer's), American Home Mortgage a week later went and paid full coverage to OUR Insurance company and kicked our payment out and back to us. Now our new monthly mortgage paymentsis threw the roof. I don't feel thats legal what they did and I'm changing my Insurance company I don't trust them no more. I'm worried whatAmerican Home Mortgage has in plan to try and foreclose again on or if there working on that right now. How can they go home and sleep at night knowing what they do to people, judgment day is coming, I hope they get Investigated.

Under the bubbling hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park is a supervolcano. Most people don't know it's there. The caldera is so large that it can only be seen from a plane or satellite. It just could be overdue for an eruption, which would change the landscape and climate of our planet.
For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to seach for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.
"This post-apocalyptic tale is one that combines reality with the stuff of nightmares, crawls under your skin, and forces you to question your own courage and survival instincts."
— Marissa Meyer, author of Cinder
"The pre-Friday world of school, cell phones, and refrigerators dissolved into this post-Friday world of ash, darkness, and hunger."
Left home alone for a weekend in Cedar Falls, Iowa, while his family visits relatives in Warren, Ill., 15-year-old Alex Halprin ends up fighting for survival trying to get to them through an America ravaged by the sudden eruption of the supervolcano under Yellowstone Park. Alex is characterized by the decisions he makes when confronted with moral dilemmas—dilemmas that have no straightforward, correct answers—resulting in a realistically thoughtful protagonist dealing with complex and horrifying situations. Before he's even left his hometown, Alex encounters looting and other behaviors born from realization of just how finite resources are in emergencies. Traveling to Warren, he's even more vulnerable, both to the elements and to the mercies of the people he encounters. Among the best people that Alex encounters are a girl named Darla and her mother, Mrs. Edmunds, both self-sufficient farmers. But any relief is temporary—threats both environmental and human are ever present. While the pain and suffering Alex witnesses and experiences is visceral, so are the moments of hope and glimpses of human goodness.
In this chilling debut, Mullin seamlessly weaves meticulous details about science, geography, agriculture and slaughter into his prose, creating a fully immersive and internally consistent world scarily close to reality. (author's note)(Speculative fiction. 14 & up)
Mike Mullin first discovered he could make money writing in sixth grade. His teacher, Mrs. Brannon, occasionally paid students for using unusual words. Mullin's first sale as a writer earned ten cents for one word: tenacious.
Since then, he has always been involved with literature. One of his early jobs was shelving books at Central Library in Indianapolis. Later, he paid his way through graduate school in part by serving as a reference assistant. Mullin has worked in his mother's business, Kids Ink Children's Bookstore, for more than twenty years, serving at various times as a store manager, buyer, school and library salesperson, and marketing consultant.
He wrote his first novel in elementary school — Captain Poopy's Sewer Adventures. He's been writing more or less nonstop ever since, but fortunately for his readers, Ashfall will be his first published novel.
He holds a black belt in Songahm Taekwondo. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife and her three cats. Visit www.mikemullinauthor.com for more info about the author and Ashfall and its sequel, Ashen Winter.
Average Review:
See all customer reviews
Readers who enjoyed The Hunger Games and Matched will like this book, but it is the most realistic of the current young adult post apocalyptic genre. The violence is more graphic than in the dystopian fantasies and the central romance includes more than virginal kissing, but sex is implied rather than explicit. As an adult fan of the genre, I would recommend this book to my 14 year old son.
I love stories that revolve around natural disasters, so when I saw that Ashfall was available on NetGalley, I had to request a copy! Ashfall is the story of what happens to a teenage boy living in Iowa--Alex--when the supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park erupts and turns his state into a disaster zone. The action starts immediately when a flaming rock from the volcano crashes into Alex's house, and it continues non-stop! One thing that really stood out to me in this book was how well-researched it was. I could tell that Mike Mullin paid careful attention to the details (even when the details were gory) and that's important when writing about a volcanic disaster like the one that happens in Ashfall. Everything was researched and explained in a way that was clear to the reader -- one part that really stood out to me was when Darla had to butcher a rabbit and prepare it to eat. It was a very detailed (and not gonna lie, kind of gross), description, and reading those details made it apparent how much Alex's life had changed from when he could just go to the store and pick up pre-packaged sandwich meat. Speaking of Darla, she was an awesome character, and I love how she and Alex brought out the best in each other. Darla was tough and resourceful, and Alex was a little more sympathetic to others (and also resourceful, but Darla was the mechanic of the two of them). His taekwondo skills were also quite helpful on their journey! Speaking of his journey, I liked how he not only completed a physical journey, but an emotional one as well. He changed so much through the novel, going from a boy who liked to play video games, complained a lot, and fought with his mom, to someone who was stubborn, strong, and stuck through the toughest of situations. If you like natural disaster books, this is definitely one I recommend picking up. I also loved how in the authors notes, Mike Mullin talked about the facts behind the supervolcano. Very interesting to read!
In this thrilling, debut novel of "cataclysmic natural disaster," Alex Halprin lives in modern-day Cedar Falls, Idaho, playing video games and arguing with his little sister on a regular basis. One day when his family has left for the weekend to visit an uncle, the unthinkable happens: Yellowstone erupts in a volcanic super-eruption, leaving thousands of miles under layers of ash and projectile rock with no modern form of communication and few resources for immediate survivors. Alex begins the harrowing journey to Warren, Illinois, where his family is--he hopes--safely harbored with other relatives. Alex's journey is laborious and often heart wrenching as he cross-country skis through the ash. He makes his way through cities, towns, and open, desolated land, meeting friends and strangers alike and finds himself running from cutthroat murderers, looters, and others like him just trying to survive. At one stop, Alex passes out from injuries and ends up at a farm where strangers Darla and her mother nurse him back to health; a steady relationship begins to bond the two teenagers. When tragedy strikes again and forces them back on the road, Darla accompanies Alex on his journey to Illinois, and they continue to skirt danger, both environmental and man-made. It's a realistic, post-apocalyptic thriller. By that, I mean that the thrills are quick and gripping, but they aren't on every page; Mullin doesn't cop-out to the Hollywood-ready scripts that a lot of authors (James Patterson comes to mind) throw at young readers. Instead, Mullin has created a storyline full of highs and lows with mature downtime rooted in the everyday difficulties of physical and emotional survival. It's the mix of action, science, thrills, romance, and the nitty-gritty details that make this book so gripping and good. Recommended for ages 14+ because of mature content.

Expected publication: October 11th 2011(Arc review) ...I found myself yawning and sleepy only a few hours later. There was no point in fighting it-the nightmares that haunted my dreams would beat the waking nightmare my life had become-so I let myself drift back to sleep. Mike Mullin= Genious! Really! It's one of the most amazing reads of this year and one you simply cannot miss! There's no cake before the hit, no preamble as to what you'll witness-not see- but seriously witness in the next sentence. So obviousl by the time I was on chapter 3...let's just say that hyperventilation is an understatement. The World as we know it seaced to exist that friday. Alex thought it'll be one of hist greates weekends since he finally won an argument with his mom, he'll stay in the house when his parents along with his sister Rebecca went on a trip. Making a promise to himself after the events on that friday, Alex goes on a journey that any other day would've taken 2 hours but now it didn't even seem likel he'd make it there alive. Making friends and a few enemies on his way he learns to appreciate every breath he's able to take, ever blink of his eyes, every bite of food in his mouth, and even a face-even unfamiliar-to look at. In the worst situation possible for an alone 15 year old, without your family and friends you get a real scoop of the true nature of the people yu thought you knew. When I thought I could have peace and my heart rate slowed down BOOM! another chatastrophy! At some point I thought wow this is a really big-large-book! and that I'd be reading more and more of the same but God!! was I wrong! Mullin's writting kept my heart rate so high I seriously was scared for my health! As for what I felt while reading this book? -I cried for whole new reasons while reading the book. - 2 times I jumped out of my skin and seat while reading due to little earthquakes here in my country!¬¬ -One of the most realisic, heartbreaking, cruel, and beautiful books I've ever read. The rawness of it all didn't let me relax for one bit. -The first book ever that left me wondering WHAT IF??? -The enormity of the story crushed all the pages from the book! I never thought I could get to dislike pork more than I do but I think Mullin got the job done pretty well. All in all the characters all where perfectly described and written beautifully!! And well what I kept from the book? That life can change in the blink of an eye. That we all have craziness inside us it's just that nothing bad enough has happened for us to notice. That money is just paper; one day you have it, the next you simply don't. But above everything else to not EVER NEVER take anything from granted! What will you be willing to do, give, and sacrifice when your survival is at stake? Will it include your humanity? A book that's realistic in one of the most terrifying ways... Do yourself a favor and don't miss this book for anything! 5/5
Read this series if you enjoy distopian science fiction, or coming of age fictions. I for sure recommend these books.
This is about a self centered teen from Iowa, Alex, and survives the eruption of a supervolcano. He decides to look for his family, that he hates. Along the way he is injured and taken in by a widow and her teen daughter; Mrs. Edwards and Darla, on their farm. He is nursed back to health and given food and shelter. Bandits show up at the farm, Alex having led them there, and rape and murder Mrs. Edwards. After this, Darla follows Alex, saving his life along the way. Despite all that she has done for him, Alex takes advantage of Darla, manipulating her emotions having witnessed her mother's rape and murder, for his own ends.
This book is great its a thriller romance that is a real page turner. Everyone will love this book after they read it. I have ashfall syndrom i couldnt put the book down. I highly recommend it to everyone
Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don't realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano. It has erupted three times in the last 2.1 million years, and it will erupt again, changing the earth forever. Fifteen-year-old Alex is home alone when Yellowstone erupts. His town collapses into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence, forcing him to flee. He begins a harrowing trek in search of his parents and sister, who were visiting relatives 140 miles away. Along the way, Alex struggles through a landscape transformed by more than a foot of ash. The disaster brings out the best and worst in people desperate for food, clean water, and shelter. When an escaped convict injures Alex, he searches for a sheltered place where he can wait-to heal or to die. Instead, he finds Darla. Together, they fight to achieve a nearly impossible goal: surviving the supervolcano. For readers who loved HATCHET when they were younger; for teens who want kick-ass heroines; for those who want flawed heroes who make mistakes, live through them, and keep on trying; for readers who wonder if they'd be able to maintain their human decency in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. This is the must read fall release of 2011.
Okay so guys this is just such an awesome book okay you just need to understand that before anything. Okay good. So i kinda went on a reading binge about this time last year when i started reading "Monument 14' which is besides the point but go read that book too, anyway i started reading books in this kind of genre and I found this book. This book is great, it might take awhile to get into at first like it did for me but just keep reading because once you get to where it starts to get good it is worth it. It got good fr me when Darla shows up and that isn't to far into the book so just keep reading until then and it gets way better I promise. This is my favorite book ever and i have read a lot of books in this genre and this is the best one that does have romance and is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat! I would suggest this book for 14 and up :)
Ashfall was wholly entertaining in view of its gutsy characters and inconceivable world! It's a story that is weaved with intensity and grips you from start to finish. This book is one of those gems that graces the dystopian genre only ever so often; thus, this book is not to be missed! ___________________________________ WHAT I LIKED + Ashfall is a desperate storyline that depicts a post-apocalyptic MidWest America which has reduced humanity to scavengers. It teems with vistas that are grim, tense and perfectly terrible ― some of which I still can't get out of my head! And while the story is one that does not hand over a message that you can walk away with, or one that provokes your thoughts, it is a story that contains something I am predisposed toward loving, that being, perseverance through adversity. I'm not referring to the overly simplified type of perseverance either, but the steadfastness that is seen through realistic realities that keep conveniences at bay. + There is a lot of emphasis on meager little things some may consider "filler" ― like, descriptions of meals, how one would butcher a rabbit, a goat, or a hog, how one would stitch up wounds, the fighting techniques, and stances of taekwondo, of the way characters build shelter, procure water and ration their food; yet, as insignificant as these things may be, I found them to be mundanely fitting as it gives testimony to the virtue and simplicity of the things in life we often take for granted. The resplendent colors of the flowers that soak up the sun rays, and the air we breathe as opposed to highly reactive gases of sulfur dioxide, which by definition reeks like "rotten eggs" is a case in point. + The author's writing style is blunt, raw and unrefined and I loved it! Evidently, this is the one aspect that made the book difficult to put down and so utterly engrossing because we feel and sense the harrowing atmosphere in Ashfall and each character's desperate emotions as the odds increase at a steady and terrifying rate. Speaking of which, there are numerous scenes within the book in which Alex (and Darla) is faced with impending doom ― some of which are inconceivable for a teenager to have to endure, but as you follow all the obstacles he faces you instinctively take in the joy and relief as he overcomes each trial and that's what made the book so addicting ― the way in which it hoists our humanity and unique ability to formulate possibilities, to find the silver lining in miserable outcomes and to keep pressing forward. Mmmm, I
Perhaps the greatest book I have read wonderful characters great concept is pulled off brilliantly.
I couldn't put it down. Reminds me of Life as We Knew it
When the novel begins, Alex is a typical teenage kid, staying at home for the weekend in Cedar Falls, Iowa, while his mother, father, and sister go to visit his uncle and his family in Warren, Illinois. The supervolcano erupts, blanketing everything with ash. Alex takes refuge with neighbors, and then ultimately decides to set off to find his parents in Warren. He travels through the countryside, coming across an escaped convict named Target. Target attempts to kill Alex with an axe; he narrowly escapes, and tumbles into the barn of the Edmunds, Darla, and her mother, Gloria. They help nurse him back to health, and he assists them with their farm chores. Target and a friend brutally rape and murder Mrs. Edmund, while Alex helps to defend Darla. Target's friend is killed by Alex, and when Target comes back, Alex kills him as well. He and Darla then head out across country to go to Alex's uncle's farm. They scavenge for food as they go, and sleep where they can, dealing with cold rain, and incredible amounts of snow. They are scooped up into a refugee camp that is overcrowded and starved, and escape to the uncle's farm. There, Darla and Alex discover that Alex's parents have been gone for five weeks, looking for him. Alex agrees to stay put, because his uncle and aunt and cousins need him, and because his sister is there as well. Darla helps to revolutionize the farm by creating a grist mill which the family can use to its advantage in terms of collecting food as payment, and offering the locals a service. When Alex's uncle breaks his leg, Doc McCarthy sets the fracture and accepts kale as payment. They set up a future trading market, where kale will be traded for pork from the town of Warren, through the doctor. From the farm, Alex and Darla look forward to an uncertain future.
Hey babe
Hands down one of my favorite series. The survival and fast pace of this series had me on the edge of my seat and the writing is superb!
The Ashfall series is a fantastic series that I highly recommend. I started the first book and could not stop. I finished the trilogy in a week. The story line kept me interested with lots of twists and turns. Great characters! Great ride! Get these books!!!!.
After staying up to 3am and reading a comment on a picture regarding yellowstone I saw it mention this book and I am so glad it did, the story starts slowly but once the action starts it never seems to stop, It was a hard book to put down. Upon completing this book I immediately purchased the 2nd and 3rd book with express postage. I have lent this book to my sister and recommended this to all my friends, as a 23 yo I am relatively picky in my choices of reads but this has to be amongst my favorites (Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2) is my fave) If you like The Hunger Games and The Skullduggery Pleasant series, you'll really enjoy these
Did someone ask for action? Because there is action and beyond in this book. Mullins barely leave you room to catch your breathe. Love it!
Great book.
I enjoyed reading this book all the way through even though it was predictable at times. It was still fresh enough to keep me satisfied. I can't wait for the next one in the series. 5/5
I absolutely love this book, and the only reason for four stars instead of five is that I felt the beginning dragged a bit. Once the action got going I literally could not put it down. No joke, I carried it into the grocery store with me. Mr. Mullin's novel is most certainly not for the faint of heart. It pulls no punches in the gore and general lack of morality that would surely accompany a catastrophic event the size of the Yellowstone super volcano. It's all there in stark reality: death, greed, abandonment, hopelessness. People can lose their minds in those types of situations. The characters are excellently written, and Alex has an amazing and believable character arc that flows as though Mr. Mullin actually observed someone being forced to grow up too quickly in a time of crisis. He's still a child, but we get to see him slowly turn the corner toward becoming a man. Now on to possibly my favorite female protagonist in the history of young adult (maybe even adult) literature: Darla. She is both entertaining and tough as nails. I have no doubt that she would not only take out Katniss at the beginning of the Hunger Games, but also every other tribute. This girl has everything. If for no other reason, read this book to meet her. Excellent character. Very few things please me more than an author who is not afraid to write teenagers as they actually are, as opposed to the more sanitized versions preferred by adults. This author is one of the best at that. Sure, they may die, but Alex is still a boy. What boy his age doesn't think about sex? I have seen some call it unrealistic, but the instinct of humans is actually to become more sexually active when they feel their species is being threatened. This is the same throughout the animal kingdom. So we have a teenager, hormones, and a primal instinct to protect the species. If sex didn't come up the novel would be ignoring the obvious. Bravo! Highly recommended read, and to be honest, I now have a strong urge to stock up on condoms and Chapstick. The disaster and fallout are written so vividly that suddenly doomsday preppers don't look so strange after all. When a road melted in Yellowstone, I was quite ready to leave the country. That's a good book.
