The Government also provides internet links to the statistical information published, including on the Lithuanian labour market and the Statistical Yearbook of Lithuania. The Committee notes that statistical information published is available in both Lithuanian and English. The Committee notes that the Government continues to regularly provide statistics on the economically active population, employment and unemployment to the ILO Department of Statistics (ILOSTAT) for dissemination through its website. The latest Labour Force Survey (LFS) figures refer to 2021. The Committee nevertheless notes that the Government does not respond to the Committee’s previous request that it provide information on plans for conducting the next census. The Committee nevertheless notes that, according to information published on the Official Statistics Portal of Lithuania, Statistics Lithuania carried out a population and housing census in 2021, using administrative data from the main State registers and information system. The population and housing censuses were conducted across the European Union in 2021, pursuant to the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses and Regulation (EC) No. 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on population and housing censuses. The Committee notes that the latest data derived from the population census available to ILOSTAT refers to 2001. The Committee requests the Government continue to supply updated data and information concerning the methodology used in the application of Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. It further requests the Government to communicate relevant data and methodological information concerning the 2021 population and housing census relevant to the application of Article 8 of the Convention. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to continue to provide detailed updated information on any further developments towards the implementation of Resolution I adopted by the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) relating to Statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization, as well as Resolution I of the 20th ICLS concerning Statistics on work relationships.

Article 11. Statistics of labour cost. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, which responds to its previous comment.
Articles 14 and 15. Occupational injuries and industrial disputes. With respect to statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases (Article 14), the Committee notes that statistics on occupational injuries are regularly submitted to ILOSTAT via the annual questionnaire of labour statistics, for dissemination on the ILOSTAT website. The statistics submitted are derived from labour inspectorate records, with the latest available data referring to 2021. The Government indicates that Statistics Lithuania prepares statistical information on accidents at work, cases of loss of working capacity and deaths, the number of working days lost due to accidents at work, and new instances of occupational diseases according to disease groups and gender. It adds that the State Labour Inspectorate collects the data relating to accidents, while the State Register of Occupational Diseases held at the Institute of Hygiene compiles the statistical information on occupational diseases, disaggregated by disease groups, gender, age and profession of the affected persons, and type of economic activity. In relation to Article 15, the Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government. It notes with interest that the Government has regularly submitted data to ILOSTAT relevant to the application of Article 15 since 2012, through its responses to the ILOSTAT annual questionnaire of labour statistics. The latest available data refers to 2019. In addition, data on number of strikes and lockouts, the number of days not worked due to strikes and lockouts and the number of workers involved in strikes and lockouts by economic activity is only supplied for 2019. The Committee requests that the Government continue to supply detailed, updated statistical and methodological information in relation to the application of these provisions of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee invites the Government to take into account the decision taken by the International Labour Conference at its 110th Session in June 2022, in which it included “a safe and healthy working environment” as a fundamental principle and right at work under paragraph 2 of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. In addition, with respect to the application of Article 15 of the Convention, the Committee invites the Government to continue to submit detailed updated information and methodology, as well as to communicate information on the number of strikes and lockouts, number of days not worked due to strikes and lockouts and the number of workers involved in strikes and lockouts by economic activity prior to 2019.
