Summary

ILOSTAT (The ILO Department of Statistics) is the focal point to the United Nations on labor statistics. They develop international standards for better measurement of labor issues and enhanced international comparability; provide relevant, timely and comparable labor statistics; and help Member States develop and improve their labor statistics. This data can be used for better evidence-based policymaking, setting statistical standards, research and development, data collection and production, dissemination and analysis as well as capacity building and technical assistance.The data team uses the ILOSTAT database for series including, but not limited to, SeriesEmpPov%1D90CTot15+, SeriesEmpPov%3D20CFemale25+, and SeriesEmpPov%5D50CMale15-24. To pull data, please follow the instructions below and then navigate to the "data pulling instructions".

Data Notes

Three tables were updated in May of 2025; LaborParRate15PlusFemale%, LaborParRate15PlusMale%, and LaborParRate15PlusTotal%. In this update, we found that the website was updated and data pulling has subsequently changed. For these tables use the following indicator:
Screenshot of ILO Indicator.png
This provides data from 1990-2026. The ILO modeled data does do forecasts. In the previous data pulls there is data from 1946-1989. We have blended this into the most recent data pull due to more similarities than differences linearly.   

For the tables in July 2025, use the indicator name: Employment by sex and economic activity -- ILO modelled estimates, Nov. 2024 (thousands) -- Annual. [or most recent modelled estimates]
