- Working-age
To determine the working-age population:
(a) the lower age limit should be set taking into consideration the minimum age for employment and exceptions specified in national laws or regulations, or the age of completion of compulsory schooling;
(b) no upper age limit should be set, so as to permit comprehensive coverage of work activities of the adult population and to examine transitions between employment and retirement.In principle, the national system of work statistics will cover the work activities of the population in all age groups. To serve different policy concerns, separate statistics are needed for the working-age population and, where relevant, for children in productive activities as specified in the international statistical standards on the topic.
The lower age limit for the collection of statistics, however, may differ according to whether or not a separate programme exists for child labour statistics.
