--~1. Each country should aim at supplementing its programmes of statistics on employment, [[labour underutilization>>doc:working:Glossary.Labour Underutilization.WebHome]] and wages with statistics that provide insight into the income related to employment, for the purpose of (a) analysing the income-generating capacity of different economic activities and (b) analysing the economic well-being of persons on the basis of the employment opportunities available to them.

--2. A programme of statistics on employment-related income should provide for the needs of various users. It should provide information required in economic analysis where the focus is on the identification and creation of productive economic activities, and should contribute to the design, implementation and assessment of employment promotion policies which aim at creating and developing employment that provides adequate income. Statistics of employment-related income should contribute to the development of the analysis of the [[informal sector>>doc:working:Glossary.Informal sector.WebHome]] for employment and income generation and the measurement of underemployment. The programme of statistics should also be useful for the analysis of the [[labour force>>doc:working:Glossary.Labour Force.WebHome]] situation in relation to the increased flexibility of the labour market and the structural changes resulting from this flexibility, in particular through the provision of data on the relationship between employment-related income and atypical or non-standard forms of employment. It should provide data on the changes in employment patterns and remuneration practices which have taken place in countries at different stages of development. Statistics of employment-related income may be used for planning, implementing and evaluating social and economic policies, for assessing the impact of specific policies such as assistance to agricultural workers and access of particular workers such as women and rural-urban migrants to the labour market. Statistics on the level of income from employment for pay and for profit should be used as an input in the assessment of the consumption capacity of workers and their level of employment-related welfare. Data on the structure and distribution of employment-related income may also be used in connection with the adjustment of income taxes and social security contributions and the redistribution of income and social security benefits. They should contribute to the compilation of labour and national accounts.

In this case, efforts should be made to quantify the amount of capital used to generate the income and to derive net mixed income. For this purpose, data on the consumption of productive assets (i.e. structures, machinery or equipment, cultivated assets such as trees or animals used to produce other products such as fruit or dairy products, etc.) should, in principle, be collected. Consumption of productive assets may be valued through an estimate of depreciation, according to the business accounting rules in force in each country, or according to the methods contained in the System of National Accounts. Due account should also be taken of the source of data and data collection methods. Where it is not possible to obtain reliable data on consumption of fixed capital from [[persons in employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Persons in Employment.WebHome]] for profit, net [[income related to employment for profit>>doc:working:Glossary.Income related to employment for profit.WebHome]] may have to be derived by means of analytical methods.

--70. In household enterprises, and more generally in employment for profit, activities may be jointly performed by several members of the household without formal or individualized [[earnings>>doc:working:Glossary.Earnings.WebHome]] or income. In that case, the profit or mixed income derived by the head of the household enterprise also rewards the participation of contributing family workers (as defined in the most recent version of ICSE) whose participation in the economic activity is of varying duration and intensity and at different levels of responsibility. It is therefore necessary to assess the contribution of these workers, disaggregated at least by sex and age, to the economic development of household enterprises.

This imputed value can be based on the market rates for equivalent occupations.

 . Several variants may be calculated, using for instance the [[minimum wage>>doc:working:Glossary.Minimum wage.WebHome]] of certain suitable occupations, or the average wage, by sex and occupation or sector, of substitute workers. Wages may be allocated "gross" or "net". Imputed gross wages (where relevant, including the employer's imputed contributions to social security and similar schemes) can provide an indication of the expense foregone by the head of the household enterprise, while imputed wages net of taxes and social security contributions appear more suitable since the labour of contributing family workers does not usually generate social security contributions.
