Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from ILO’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2007.

  • 104 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.

  • Some readings carry a flag

    ILO marks readings it considers estimates or provisional. The flags in this file: Break in series.
