Harvesting information from international data repositories as well as regional and national statistical sources, the KILM offers data for over 200 countries. The 17 chapters provide detailed information related to 36 data tables, including indicators on employment (occupation, status, sector, hours, etc.), labour underutilization and the characteristics of job seekers, education, wages, labour productivity and working poverty. Taken together, these indicators provide a strong foundation from which to address key questions related to productive employment and decent work.

Through its Excel add-in and interactive software, the KILM makes searching for relevant labour market information and analysis quick and simple. The Excel add-in allows users to download data directly into Excel spreadsheets while the software lets users run simple or complex queries, and produce graphs and reports even while offline. Both tools offer a simple user interface to access the most up-to-date KILM country-level data as well as ILO world and regional aggregates of selected key indicators.

The KILM Excel add-in and interactive software can be downloaded from www.ilo.org/kilm.
