271 -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 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.

273 -Contributing family workers generally have jobs whose occupational content and level of responsibilities differ from that of the owner or partners of the enterprise. The measurement of their participation involves: (i) the measurement of the volume of employment put into the activity, in terms of hours, days, weeks, etc., and (ii) the imputation of an income value to their work. This imputed value can be based on the market rates for equivalent occupations.

275 -Several variants may be calculated, using for instance the minimum wage 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.

279 -1. Where possible, statistics of average income related to employment for pay or profit should be compiled and disseminated regularly, together with information on the quality of the statistics. Detailed descriptions of the concepts and methods used in the compilation of statistics on income related to employment for pay or profit should be disseminated by the responsible statistical office. In particular, the descriptions should mention the nature and types of payments and benefits included in each of the four major groups of components of income related to employment for pay, the types of employment-related benefits received by persons in employment for profit, the source(s) of data and the methodology used in collecting and compiling the statistics on income related to employment for pay or profit.
280 -1. Dissemination of the statistics of employment-related income should be in accordance with Article 4 of the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), which protects the confidentiality of information relating to individuals, households, employers, etc.
281 -1. To facilitate the analysis of the statistical series compiled on income related to employment for pay or profit, the results of surveys on employment-related income should be accompanied by information on the various types of schemes and plans covering persons in employment for pay and profit, in particular on the financing of statutory social security schemes and the coverage of benefits.
282 -1. The credibility and the relevance of statistics on income related to employment for pay or profit will be increased if they can be disseminated as soon as possible after their compilation, fitted into broader statistical systems (such as the national accounts or labour accounts) and used in connection with relevant demographic and economic time series. Countries should therefore endeavour to develop consistent time series showing income dynamics and revealing vulnerable groups of persons.
283 -1. Countries which have carried out studies on the level and composition of income related to employment for pay or profit should communicate their results to the International Labour Office in order to facilitate international comparisons and interpretation of the statistics.

287 287  1. In view of the complexity of the measurement of income related to employment for pay or profit, special efforts should be made to improve the use of existing sources of data and to enhance surveys in order to increase response rates and obtain the required information as accurately as possible.
