33	33	3. In order to promote the coherence and integration of statistics from different sources on multiple characteristics of work relationships, the resolution provides:
34	34
35		-* an overarching conceptual framework for statistics on work relationships;
36		-* a revised International Classification of Status in Employment (to be designated ICSE-18);
37		-* an International Classification of Status at Work as a reference classification covering all forms of work;
38		-* a set of cross-cutting variables and categories that are not reflected in the status at work categories, in order to provide information on characteristics associated with the degree of stability and permanence of a particular work arrangement, and allow the identification of particular groups of policy interest; and
39		-* operational concepts, definitions and guidelines for the collection and compilation of statistics on status in employment and the cross-cutting variables.

41	41	4. The characteristics of jobs and work activities that are relevant and of interest for statistics on work relationships vary depending on the form of work and on the analytical purposes of the statistics. Some of the concepts, variables, classification schemes and categories described in these standards are relevant, therefore, only for certain forms of work. Others should be applied to all forms of work.
42	42
43	43	5. Each country should aim to develop its statistics on work relationships in order to provide an adequate information base for a wide range of descriptive and analytical purposes, taking account of specific national needs and circumstances, in order to provide information on:
44	44
45		-* the nature of the economic risks and authority experienced by workers, the strength and nature of their attachment to the economic unit in which they work, and the impact of economic and social changes on their employment situation;
46		-* the impact of government policies in relation to employment creation, promotion of enterprise, and labour market regulation on the nature of jobs and the quality of employment;
47		-* the extent to which engagement in employment and participation in other forms of work provide access to social protection and income security;
48		-* wages, earnings and labour costs;
49		-* the fiscal impact of employment in various types of work relationships;
50		-* socio-economic status;
51		-* the volume of work or labour inputs for national production accounts, separately for workers employed for pay and workers employed for profit;
52		-* participation in different types of work relationships among population groups such as women and men, young people, children, migrants and other groups of particular policy concern; and
53		-* the relationships between different forms of work arrangements and their economic and social outcomes.
	45	+* (a) the nature of the economic risks and authority experienced by workers, the strength and nature of their attachment to the economic unit in which they work, and the impact of economic and social changes on their employment situation;
	46	+* (b) the impact of government policies in relation to employment creation, promotion of enterprise, and labour market regulation on the nature of jobs and the quality of employment;
	47	+* (c) the extent to which engagement in employment and participation in other forms of work provide access to social protection and income security;
	48	+* (d) wages, earnings and labour costs;
	49	+* (e) the fiscal impact of employment in various types of work relationships;
	50	+* (f) socio-economic status;
	51	+* (g) the volume of work or labour inputs for national production accounts, separately for workers employed for pay and workers employed for profit;
	52	+* (h) participation in different types of work relationships among population groups such as women and men, young people, children, migrants and other groups of particular policy concern; and
	53	+* (i) the relationships between different forms of work arrangements and their economic and social outcomes.
54	54
55	55	6. In developing statistics on work relationships, countries should endeavour to apply these standards to assess trends and differences for the purpose of labour market, economic and social analysis and to facilitate international comparability.

63	63	8. A job or **work activity** is defined as a set of tasks and duties performed, or meant to be performed, by one person for a single economic unit:
64	64
65		-* The term //job// is used in reference to employment. This statistical unit, when relating to own-use production work, unpaid trainee work and volunteer work is referred to as //work activity.//
66		-* Persons may have one or several jobs during a given reference period. In cases of multiple job-holding, the **main job** is that with the longest hours usually worked, as defined in the current international statistical standards on working time.
67		-* Those employed as independent workers have as many jobs as the economic units they own or co-own, irrespective of the number of clients served.
68		-* For those employed as dependent workers the set of tasks should be considered to be performed for the economic unit on which the worker is dependent and a separate job defined for each economic unit on which the worker is dependent.
69		-* Separate work activities are defined when a person is engaged in both own-use production of goods and own-use provision of services for the same household. This allows the identification of work activities within and beyond the production boundary in the System of National Accounts (SNA).
70		-* Since statistics on work relationships refer primarily to characteristics of jobs or work activities in specific economic units, persons may have as many work relationships as they have jobs or work activities in economic units.
71		-* Two characteristics of jobs and work activities are relevant to differentiate them according to status at work and status in employment, and to arrange them into aggregate groups. These are the type of authority that the worker is able to exercise in relation to the work performed and the type of economic risk to which the worker is exposed.
