5 Recalling the resolution concerning statistics of occupational injuries adopted by the Thirteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians (1982),
6
7 Recalling the Code of practice on the recording and notification of occupational accidents and diseases, approved by the Governing Body of the ILO at its 261st Session (November 1994),
8
9 Observing that the existing international standards on statistics of occupational injuries do not provide adequate guidance on the measurement and classification of occupational injuries,
10
11 Recognizing that statistics of occupational injuries should form part of a broad programme of statistics of occupational safety and health,
12
13 Recognizing that statistics of occupational injuries are essential for effective programmes for the prevention of occupational accidents, and for their monitoring,
14
15 Recognizing further that international guidelines on the measurement and classification of occupational injuries will promote the development of these statistics along sound lines and improve their international comparability;
16
17 Adopts this fifteenth day of October 1998 the following resolution:
18
19 = General objectives and uses =
20
21 Each country should aim to develop a comprehensive programme of statistics on occupational safety and health, including occupational diseases and occupational injuries. The objective of this programme would be to provide an adequate statistical base for the various users, taking into account the specific national needs and circumstances. One of the major components of the programme should comprise statistics on occupational injuries, which should be based on a range of sources of information, and which may be used in conjunction with other appropriate economic and social indicators.
22
23 This resolution aims to set out standards of good practice for the collection and presentation of statistics of occupational injuries as guidance for countries wishing to revise their existing statistical systems in this field, or establish new ones. Its provisions should not undermine any existing national systems, nor should they lead to duplication of effort.
24
25 The principal objective of the statistics is to provide comprehensive and timely information on occupational injuries for prevention purposes. The statistics may be used for a number of purposes, such as:
26
27 * (a) to identify the occupations and economic activities where occupational injuries occur, along with their extent, severity and the way in which they occur, as a basis for planning preventive measures;
28 * (b) to set priorities for preventive efforts;
29 * (c) to detect changes in the pattern and occurrence of occupational injuries, so as to monitor improvements in safety and reveal any new areas of risk;
30 * (d) to inform employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations of the risks associated with their (% style="color: rgb(231, 76, 60); color: rgb(231, 76, 60)" %)work(%%) and workplaces, so that they can take an active part in their own safety;
31 * (e) to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures;
32 * (f) to estimate the consequences of occupational injuries, particularly in terms of days lost or costs;
33 * (g) to provide a basis for policy-making aimed at encouraging employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations to introduce accident prevention measures;
34 * (h) to assist in developing training material and programmes for accident prevention;
35 * (i) to provide a basis for identifying possible areas for future research.
36
37 4. The major users of the statistics, including the representative organizations of employers and workers, should be consulted when the concepts, definitions and methodology for the collection, compilation and dissemination of the statistics are designed or revised, with a view to taking into account their needs and obtaining their cooperation.
38
39 = Terms and definitions =
40
41 5. For the purposes of statistics of occupational injuries, the following terms and definitions are used:
42
43 * (a) //occupational accident//: an unexpected and unplanned occurrence, including acts of violence, arising out of or in connection with (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) which results in one or more workers incurring a personal injury, disease or death; as occupational accidents are to be considered travel, transport or road traffic accidents in which workers are injured and which arise out of or in the course of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%), i.e. while engaged in an economic activity, or at (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%), or carrying on the business of the employer;
44 * (b) //commuting accident//: an accident occurring on the habitual route, in either direction, between the place of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) or (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%)-related training and:
45 ** (i) the worker’s principal or secondary residence;
46 ** (ii) the place where the worker usually takes his or her meals; or (iii) the place where he or she usually receives his or her remuneration; which results in death or personal injury;
47 ** (iii) //occupational injury//: any personal injury, disease or death resulting from an occupational accident;
48 * (c) an occupational injury is therefore distinct from an occupational disease, which is a disease contracted as a result of an exposure over a period of time to risk factors arising from (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) activity;
49 * (d) //case of occupational injury//: the case of one worker incurring an occupational injury as a result of one occupational accident;
50 * (e) //incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work//(%%): inability of the victim, due to an occupational injury, to perform the normal duties of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) in the [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] or post occupied at the time of the occupational accident.
51
52 = Coverage =
53
54 6. The various sources of statistics should, where practical, cover all occupational injuries, as defined in paragraph 5, including non-fatal injuries causing an absence from (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) of at least one day, excluding the day of the accident, and fatal injuries. Where it is practical and considered relevant to include injuries resulting from commuting accidents, the information relating to them should be compiled and disseminated separately.
55
56 7. Where practical, the statistics should cover all workers regardless of their status in [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] (for example, [[employee>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]], employer and own-account worker). The coverage should include child workers,[[(% class="wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink" %)^^~[1~]^^>>path:#_ftn1]](%%) [[informal sector>>doc:working:Glossary.Informal sector.WebHome]] workers and homeworkers, where they exist.
57
58 8. The statistics should in principle cover the whole country, all branches of economic activity and all sectors of the economy. A case of occupational injury occurring while a worker is outside the country of normal residence should be included in the statistics of the country within whose jurisdiction the accident took place.
59
60 = Types of data =
61
62 9. Countries should aim to collect the following types of information regarding cases of occupational injury:
63
64 * (a) information about the enterprise, establishment or local unit:
65 ** (i) location;
66 ** (ii) economic activity;
67 ** (iii) size (number of workers);
68 * (b) information about the person injured:
69 ** (i) sex;
70 ** (ii) age;
71 ** (iii) occupation; (iv) status in employment;
72 * (c) information about the injury:
73 ** (i) whether fatal or non-fatal;
74 ** (ii) type of injury;
75 ** (iii) part of body injured;
76 * (d) information
77 ** (i) about the accident and its circumstances: type of location of the accident: //such as the usual workplace, another place within the establishment, outside the premises of the establishment//;
78 ** (ii) date and time of the accident;
79 ** (iii) mode of injury: //how the person was injured by a physical contact with an item or object which caused the injury or was psychologically affected by an event; if there are several injuries, the mode of the most serious injury should be recorded//;
80 ** (iv) material agency of injury: //the item, agent, object or product associated with the injury, i.e. the physical tool, object, element, etc. with which the victim came into contact and was injured by; if there are several injuries, the material agency associated with the most serious injury should be recorded.//
81
82 10. The programme of statistics can include studies to assess the value of further information as, for example, given below. Countries which thus find this or other information useful could continue to develop their programme of statistics further, especially for more serious cases of occupational injuries and fatalities.
83
84 * (a) information about the injury:
85 ** (i) incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) expressed in calendar days of absence from (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%);
86 * (b) information about the accident and its circumstances:
87 ** (i) shift, start time of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) of the injured person and hours (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) in the activity when the accident occurred;
88 ** (ii) the total number of workers injured in the accident;
89 ** (iii)place of occurrence: //the type of place where the accident occurred, such as a production or construction area, trade or service area, farm, street or highway//;
90 ** (iv) (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) process in which the injured person was engaged when the accident occurred: //the main type or kind of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) being carried out by the victim during the period up to the accident (this is a subset of the tasks covered by the occupation of the victim), such as setting up machines, cleaning of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)working(%%) area, teaching//;
91 ** (v) specific activity of the injured person at the time of the accident: //the activity actually being carried out by the victim when the accident occurred; the duration of the activity may range from very short to long; it may or may not be associated with an item or object, such as feeding the machine, operating transport equipment, carrying loads//;
92 ** (vi) material agency associated with the specific activity of the injured person: //the tool, object, element, product, etc., used by the victim in the specific activity when the accident happened (this may not necessarily be implicated in the accident), such as floors, doors, hand tools, mobile cranes;//
93 ** (vii) deviation which resulted in the accident: //what occurred in an abnormal way, deviating from the normal way of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)working(%%) or the normal process, i.e. what went wrong, the event leading to the accident, such as breakage, loss of control of machine, fall of person, aggression; if there are several interlinked or successive events, the last one should be recorded;//
94 ** (viii) material agency associated with the deviation: //the tool, object, element, product, etc. linked with what occurred in an abnormal way, such as floors, doors, hand tools, mobile cranes.//
95
96 ~11. Where injuries due to commuting accidents are covered, information corresponding to that provided for in paragraph 9 should be collected, as well as the following:
97
98 * (a) place of accident;
99 * (b) the injured person’s mode of transport;
100 * (c) the injured person’s transport role;
101 * (d) the mode of transport of the counterpart (if any).
102
103 = Measurement =
104
105 == //Occupational injury// ==
106
107 12. The unit of observation should be the //case of occupational injury//, i.e. the case of one worker incurring an occupational injury as a result of one occupational accident. If a person is injured in more than one occupational accident during the reference period, each case of injury to that person should be counted separately. Recurrent absences due to an injury resulting from a single occupational accident should be treated as the continuation of the same case of occupational injury, not as new cases. Where more than one person is injured in a single accident, each case of occupational injury should be counted separately.
108
109 == //Fatal occupational injury// ==
110
111 13. For measurement purposes, a fatal occupational injury is an occupational injury leading to death within one year of the day of the occupational accident.
112
113 == //Time lost due to occupational injuries// ==
114
115 14. Time lost should be measured separately for each case of occupational injury leading to temporary incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) of a maximum of one year. In order to assess the severity of the injury, time lost should be measured in terms of the number of calendar days during which the injured person is temporarily incapacitated, based on the information available at the time the statistics are compiled. If it is measured in workdays, attempts should be made to assess the total number of calendar days lost.
116
117 15. The time lost should be measured inclusively from the day after the day of the accident, to the day prior to the day of return to (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%). In the case of recurrent absences due to a single case of occupational injury, each period of absence should be measured as above, and the resulting number of days lost for each period summed to arrive at the total for the case of injury. Temporary absences from (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) of less than one day for medical treatment should not be included in time lost.
118
119 16. The time lost as a result of permanent incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) or fatal occupational injuries may also be estimated. In these cases, the data should be compiled and disseminated separately from data relating to temporary incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%).
120
121 = Reference period and periodicity =
122
123 17. For a given reference period, the statistics should relate to the number of cases of occupational injury occurring during the period and the total time lost as a result of those cases of injury. Cases of fatal injury should be included in the statistics for the reference period during which the occupational accident occurred.
124
125 18. The statistics should be compiled at least once a year for a reference period of not more than a year. Where seasonal trends may be considered to be important, the statistics may be compiled more frequently, using [[shorter reference periods>>doc:working:Glossary.Short Reference Period.WebHome]], such as a month or a quarter.
126
127 = Comparative measures =
128
129 19. In order to permit meaningful comparisons of the statistics, for example between different periods, economic activities, regions and countries, account needs to be taken of the differences in [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] size, changes in the number of workers in the reference group, as well as in the hours (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) by those in the reference group. A number of rates which take into account these differences may be calculated, including the following measures, which are among those most useful for comparing information at both the national and international levels. The term “workers in the reference group” refers to those workers in the particular group under consideration and covered by the source of the statistics of occupational injuries (for example those of a specific sex or in a specific economic activity, occupation, region, age group, or any combination of these, or those covered by a particular insurance scheme).
130
131 For each of the measures below, the numerator and the denominator should have the same coverage. For example, if self-[[employed persons>>doc:working:Glossary.Persons in Employment.WebHome]] are covered in the statistics of occupational injuries they should also be covered in the denominator.
132
133 * (a) The frequency rate of new cases of occupational injury:
134
135 Number of new cases of occupational injury during the reference period x 1,000,000
136
137 Total number of hours (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) by workers in the reference group during the reference period
138
139 This may be calculated separately for fatal and non-fatal occupational injuries. Ideally, the denominator should be the number of [[hours actually worked>>doc:working:Glossary.Hours Actually Worked.WebHome]] by workers in the reference group. If this is not possible, it may be calculated on the basis of normal hours of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%), taking into account entitlements to periods of paid absence from (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%), such as paid vacations, paid sick leave and public holidays.
140
141 The incidence rate of new cases of occupational injury: Number of new cases of occupational injury during the reference period x 1,000
142
143 Total number of workers in the reference group during the reference period
144
145 This may be calculated separately for fatal and non-fatal injuries. The number of workers in the reference group should be the average for the reference period. In calculating the average, account should be taken of the hours normally (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) by those persons. The number of those (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)working(%%) part time should be converted to full-time equivalents. (c) The severity rate of new cases of occupational injury:
146
147 Number of days lost as a result of new cases of
148
149 occupational injury during the reference period x 1,000,000
150
151 Total amount of time (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) by workers in the reference group during the reference period
152
153 This should be calculated only for temporary incapacity for (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%). The amount of time (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%) by workers in the reference group should preferably be measured in hours (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)worked(%%).
154
155 (d)   Days lost per new case of occupational injury:
156
157 Median or mean of the number of days lost for each new case of occupational injury during the reference period.
158
159 All the measures may be calculated according to economic activity, occupation, age group, etc., or any combination of these.
160
161 = Dissemination =
162
163 The statistics of occupational injuries that are compiled should be disseminated regularly, at least once a year; preliminary figures should be released no later than one year after the end of each reference period. The disseminated data should include time series, as well as the data for the most recent reference period. Any revisions to figures released in the past should be clearly indicated in newly disseminated data.
164
165 Detailed descriptions of the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used in collecting and compiling the statistics on occupational injuries should be:
166
167 * produced and updated to reflect significant changes;
168 * disseminated by the competent body;
169 * communicated to the ILO.
170
171 In order to promote the comparability of the statistics among countries whose national statistical practices do not conform closely to the international standards, the disseminated data should be accompanied by an explanation of any divergences from those standards.
172
173 Dissemination may take the form of printed publications, electronic data sets, etc. Where possible, the relevant competent authority should make data available on the Internet, so as to facilitate analysis by users throughout the world. The statistics should be disseminated in such a way that the disclosure of any information relating to an individual statistical unit, such as a person, household, an establishment or an enterprise is not possible, unless prior permission has been obtained from the individual units concerned.
174
175 Each year, countries should communicate to the ILO the statistics on occupational injuries (not including individual cases) requested for dissemination by the ILO in its //Yearbook of Labour Statistics// and other forms.
176
177 = Sources of data =
178
179 In compiling statistics of occupational injuries, various sources of information should be used in order to provide as full a picture as possible of the situation at a given point in time and to give an estimate of any under-reporting which may occur. For example, consideration could be given to periodically supplementing the information available from systems for the notification of compensation of occupational injuries by adding brief modules of questions to existing survey questionnaires, such as those used for establishment surveys for [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] and [[wages>>doc:working:Glossary.Earnings.WebHome]], and for [[labour force>>doc:working:Glossary.Labour Force.WebHome]] surveys. In addition, the feasibility of developing new sources should be examined.
180
181 Where data from different sources are used together, attempts should be made to ensure that the concepts, definitions, coverage and classifications used by the different sources are consistent. To this end, it would be useful to establish a coordinating committee at the national level, comprising representatives of government, other producers of statistics on occupational injuries, and employers’ and workers’ organizations. In addition, efforts should be made to harmonize the statistics compiled from different sources and by different bodies.
182
183 = Classification =
184
185 27. The data should be classified at least according to major branch of economic activity and as far as possible according to other significant characteristics of persons injured, of enterprises or establishments, of occupational injuries and of occupational accidents for which information is collected in accordance with paragraph 9. Countries should attempt to use classifications that are either comparable with or can be related to the most recent versions of the relevant international classifications, where these exist. Annexes A to F provide the most recent versions of the international classifications below, up to the second level, where available. It may however be desirable, for accident prevention purposes, for countries to classify their data at a greater level of detail.
186
187 //International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities// (ISIC), Revision 3 (1990).
188
189 Classification according to [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] size of establishments, as in the// International Recommendations for Industrial Statistics, //Rev. 1 (1983).
190
191 //International Standard Classification of Occupations, ISCO-88.//
192
193 //International Classification of Status in [[Employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]], ICSE-93.//
194
195 Type of injury, from the //International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, ICD-10 (//1992).
196
197 Part of body injured, from the// International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, ICD-10 (//1992).
198
199 The ILO should develop and disseminate classifications to replace or supplement the existing schemes adopted by the Tenth ICLS in 1962 for the variables listed below:
200
201 type of location of the accident;
202
203 mode of injury;
204
205 material agency of injury.
206
207 28. The ILO should develop and disseminate classifications to replace or supplement the existing schemes adopted by the Tenth ICLS in 1962, for variables such as those given below. Furthermore, the ILO should encourage and help countries to develop their own classifications to give further information which they can use for their purposes. For occupational injuries:
208
209 * place of occurrence;
210 * (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) process;
211 * specific activity;
212 * deviation;
213 * material agency associated with the specific activity or the deviation. For injuries due to commuting accidents:
214 * place of accident;
215 * injured person’s mode of transport;
216 * injured person’s transport role; • mode of transport of counterpart.
217
218 = Further action =
219
220 The ILO should prepare a manual to provide technical guidance on the contents of this resolution. This manual should also cover the collection of information on occupational injuries in the [[informal sector>>doc:working:Glossary.Informal sector.WebHome]] and among child workers, the collection of information through household surveys and establishment surveys, the estimation of under-reporting and of costs of occupational injuries, the classifications to be developed as recommended in paragraphs 27 and 28, and how they should be applied, as well as the establishment of a mapping between ICD-10 and the classifications in Annexes E and F. It should also cooperate, as far as possible, with countries in the development of statistics of occupational injuries by providing technical assistance and training.
221
222 Other areas for future (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) by the ILO include:
223
224 (a) developing standards for statistics of occupational diseases; and (b) making worldwide estimates of the number of fatal occupational injuries.

495
496 The following text is an extract from the resolution concerning the International Classification of Status in [[Employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] (ICSE) adopted by the Fifteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians (Geneva, 1993):

498 **II.  The ICSE-93 groups **[[(% class="wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink" %)^^~[8~]^^>>path:#_ftn8]]
499
500 4.       The ICSE-93 consists of the following groups, which are defined in section III:
501
502 * [[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]];
503 * among whom countries may need and be able to distinguish “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] with stable contracts” (including “regular [[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]]”);
504 * employers;
505 * own-account workers;
506 * members of producers’ cooperatives;
507 * contributing family workers; 6. workers not classifiable by status.
508
509 **III. Group definitions**
510
511 The groups in the ICSE-93 are defined with reference to the distinction between “paid [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]]” [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] on the one side and “selfemployment” [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] on the other. Groups are defined with reference to one or more aspects of the economic risk and/or the type of authority which the explicit or implicit [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] contract gives the incumbents or to which it subjects them.
512
513 Paid [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] are those [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] where the incumbents hold explicit (written or oral) or implicit [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] contracts which give them a basic remuneration which is not directly dependent upon the revenue of the unit for which they (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) (this unit can be a corporation, a non-profit institution, a government unit or a household). Some or all of the tools, capital equipment, information systems and/or premises used by the incumbents may be owned by others, and the incumbents may (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) under direct supervision of, or according to strict guidelines set by the owner(s) or persons in the owner’s [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]]. (Persons in “paid [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]]” are typically remunerated by [[wages>>doc:working:Glossary.Earnings.WebHome]] and [[salaries>>doc:working:Glossary.Earnings.WebHome]], but may be paid by commission from sales, by piece-rates, bonuses or in-kind payments such as food, housing or training.)
514
515 Self-[[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] are those [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] where the remuneration is directly dependent upon the profits (or the potential for profits) derived from the goods and services produced (where own consumption is considered to be part of profits). The incumbents make the operational decisions affecting the enterprise, or delegate such decisions while retaining responsibility for the welfare of the enterprise. (In this context, “enterprise” includes one-person operations.)
516
517 ~1. [[Employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] are all those workers who hold the type of [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] defined as “paid [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]]” (cf. paragraph 6). [[Employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] with stable contracts are those “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]]” who have had, and continue to have, an explicit (written or oral) or implicit contract of [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]], or a succession of such contracts, with the same employer on a continuous basis. “On a continuous basis” implies a period of [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] which is longer than a specified minimum determined according to national circumstances. (If interruptions are allowed in this minimum period, their maximum duration should also be determined according to national circumstances.) Regular [[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] are those “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] with stable contracts” for whom the [[employing>>doc:working:Glossary.Persons in Employment.WebHome]] organization is responsible for payment of relevant taxes and social security contributions and/or where the contractual relationship is subject to national labour legislation.
518
519 2. Employers are those workers who, (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)working(%%) on their own account or with one or a few partners, hold the type of [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] defined as a “self-[[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]]” (cf. paragraph 7) and, in this capacity, on a continuous basis (including the reference period) have engaged one or more persons to (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) for them in their business as “[[employee>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]](s)” (cf. paragraph 8). The meaning of “engage on continuous basis” is to be determined by national circumstances, in a way which is consistent with the definition of “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]] with stable contracts” (cf. paragraph 8). (The partners may or may not be members of the same family or household.)
520
521 3. Own-account workers are those workers who, (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)working(%%) on their own account or with one or more partners, hold the type of [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] defined as a “self-[[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] [[job>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]]” (cf. paragraph 7), and have not engaged on a continuous basis any “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]]” (cf. paragraph 8) to (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) for them during the reference period. It should be noted that, during the reference period, the members of this group may have engaged “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]]”, provided that this is on a non-continuous basis. (The partners may or may not be members of the same family or household.)
522
523 4. Members of producers’ cooperatives are workers who hold “self-[[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]]” [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] (cf. paragraph 7) in a cooperative producing goods and services, in which each member takes part on an equal footing with other members in determining the organization of production, sales and/or other (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) of the establishment, the investments and the distribution of the proceeds of the establishment amongst their members. (It should be noted that “[[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]]” (cf. paragraph 8) of producers’ cooperatives are not to be classified to this group.)
524
525 5. Contributing family workers are those workers who hold “self-[[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]]” [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Work Activity.WebHome]] (cf. paragraph 7) in a market-oriented establishment operated by a related person living in the same household, who cannot be regarded as partners, because their degree of commitment to the operation of the establishment, in terms of [[working time>>doc:working:Glossary.Working Time.WebHome]] or other factors to be determined by national circumstances, is not at a level comparable to that of the head of the establishment. (Where it is customary for young persons, in particular, to (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) without pay in an economic enterprise operated by a related person who does not live in the same household, the requirement of “living in the same household” may be eliminated.)
526
527 6. Workers not classifiable by status include those for whom insufficient relevant information is available, and/or who cannot be included in any of the preceding categories.
