Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM) 2015

  1. The KILM – part of the broader ILO statistical database ILOSTAT – is a multi-functional research tool produced by the ILO Department of Statistics.

    The KILM consists of country-level data on 17 key indicators of the labour market from 1980 to the latest available year. The new edition includes an analysis of the link between education and access to the labour market.
