Statistical Methodology Series 10 – Identification of ICSE-18 through labour force surveys
This report illustrates Key findings and implications for questionnaire design obtained from the pilot studies carried out by the ILO in Uganda and Peru in relation to the identification of status in employment based on the International Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-18). Working relationships are inextricably linked to – and have direct implications for – the identification and measurement of informality. Thus, ensuring both are measured well is key to improving our understanding of informality.
International Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-18) manual
