Abstract

In 2003 the ILO organized a Tripartite Meeting on the Future of Employment in the Tobacco Sector. The meeting highlighted the importance of timely information in order to monitor significant changes in employment trends and working conditions in the tobacco sector and called upon the Office to undertake further research to keep ILO constituents informed about emerging changes affecting the labour market in this sector.

In the past years the ILO continued collecting relevant employment data for this sector through LABORSTA. However, no official report on employment trends in the tobacco sector has been realized by the Office since 2003.

The present Employment Statistical Update is an effort conducted jointly between the Sectoral Policies Department (SECTOR) and the Department of Statistics (STATISTICS) to bridge this gap, and it aims at providing ILO constituents with a global statistical overview of the current employment situation both in tobacco growing and manufacturing.

The information provided in this document reflects official data as reported by competent and specialized authorities in each country. Data are, as far as possible, from comparable sources and have not been adjusted by the ILO in anyway.

The main intention of this statistical update is to provide the end user with critical data for self-analysis. In this regard the document is factual-oriented, and provides substantive inputs for further analysis in a graphic-friendly format.
