A three-minute video compiled by the International Labour Organisation provides a brief overview of the Guidelines concerning Statistics of Cooperatives. These guidelines we adopted at the 20th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) in October 2018 and approved by the Governing Body of the ILO in March 2019.
The English version is available here You can also watch it in other language subtitle options: French and Spanish.
After the adoption of the guidelines the ILO started working on developing a manual that provides technical guidance for producing statistics on cooperatives at institutional, national, regional and global levels. The manual concerning statistics of cooperatives would be prepared for review and discussion at the 21st International Conference of Labour Statisticians in 2023. The ILO is ready to collaborate with relevant stakeholders in the process, including practitioners, experts and national statistical offices. Those wishing to get involved, can contact the unit at coop@ilo.org or visit www.ilo.org/coop.
