'Key indicators of the labour market' (KILM) provides 20 labour market indicators from over 200 countries for the years 1980 and 1990, 1995 and the latest available subsequent five years. It represents concise explanations and analysis of the data on the labour markets of the world. It uses statistical data on: the labour force; employment; unemployment; educational attainment of the workforce; wages and compensation; productivity and labour costs; labour market flows; and poverty and income distribution. The indicators help to identify: the types of economic activities people are engaged in; the size and composition of the labour force; the number of hours that people work and their earnings; the number of unemployed and those looking for work; the types of inequalities, e.g. in terms of earnings and employment situation; whether earnings are keeping up with the cost of living; and how young people and women are faring in the labour market. Maps and graphics are used throughout the publication to highlight key points. The KILM CD-ROM duplicates the printed publication but includes information for all years after 1980 as well as the basic statistics used to calculate the indicators presented in the print version. New functionality allows the generation of country reports, a mapping function, an update capacity for users connected to the Internet, and access to an Internet-based application enabling queries of the indicators and the generation of html-based data tables.
