It compiles indicators across employment, unemployment, wages, working time, child labour, informal economy, social protection, occupational injuries, and SDG decent work targets — drawing on national labour force surveys, household income surveys, establishment surveys, and administrative records. Coverage spans 200+ economies, with the ILO's Department of Statistics responsible for harmonisation. - **Source:** [ILOSTAT](https://www.ilo.org/shinyapps/bulkexplorer/?id=ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT) - **Publisher:** International Labour Organization (ILO) - **License:** [cc-by-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - **Topic:** Industrial relations ## Methodology Data pulled directly from the ILOSTAT REST API at `https://rplumber.ilo.org/data/indicator?id=ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT` and filtered to Europe ISO3 country codes. ILOSTAT harmonises raw survey microdata using ICLS (International Conference of Labour Statisticians) definitions; sources are flagged in the `source.label` column for traceability. ## Geographic coverage 38 Europe countries · top rows shown below, sorted by row count: | Country | Rows | First year | Last year | |---------|-----:|-----------:|----------:| | `AUT` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `BEL` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `ITA` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `GBR` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `DEU` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `CZE` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `NLD` | 20 | 2000 | 2019 | | `ESP` | 19 | 2000 | 2018 | | `PRT` | 19 | 2000 | 2018 | | `HUN` | 17 | 2000 | 2019 | | `FIN` | 16 | 2000 | 2018 | | `LTU` | 16 | 2002 | 2019 | | `SVK` | 15 | 2000 | 2019 | | `ISL` | 14 | 2000 | 2019 | | `LVA` | 14 | 2002 | 2019 | | ... | _23 more countries_ | | | ## Indicators (sample) - `ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT` — Collective bargaining coverage rate (%) ## Schema | Column | Type | Description | Example | |--------|------|-------------|---------| | `ref_area` | `string` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code | `ALB` | | `ref_area.label` | `string` | Country name in English | `Albania` | | `source` | `string` | ILOSTAT source code (e.g. labour force survey) | `FX:7131` | | `source.label` | `string` | Source name in English | `ADM - Administrative records and rela…` | | `indicator` | `string` | ILOSTAT indicator code | `ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT` | | `indicator.label` | `string` | Indicator name in English | `Collective bargaining coverage rate (%)` | | `time` | `int64` | Observation year | `2018` | | `obs_value` | `float64` | Observed indicator value (unit varies — see indicator definition) | `51.1` | | `note_indicator` | `string` | — | `T32:3476` | | `note_indicator.label` | `string` | — | `Collective bargaining coverage: Adjus…` | | `note_source` | `string` | — | `S9:66` | | `note_source.label` | `string` | — | `Reference group coverage: Employees` | ## Data quality & caveats - Data is annual frequency. Some indicators also publish monthly or quarterly series — those are not included here. - When an indicator has multiple sources for the same country×year, the ILO-selected 'best source' is used. - Disaggregation columns (`sex`, `classif1`, `classif2`) are non-null only when the indicator publishes that breakdown. ## Usage ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("electricsheepeurope/europe-ilo-ilr-cbct-noc-rt-collective-bargaining-coverage-rate") df = ds["train"].to_pandas() print(df.head()) ``` ### Filter to one country ```python germany = df[df["ref_area"] == "DEU"] ``` ### Time-series for a single indicator ```python sample = (df[df["indicator"] == "ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT"] .sort_values("time")) sample.plot(x="time", y="obs_value", title="ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT") ``` ### Pivot to country × year matrix ```python matrix = (df[df["indicator"] == "ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT"] .pivot_table(index="time", columns="ref_area", values="obs_value")) print(matrix.tail()) ``` ## Citation ```bibtex @misc{europe_ilo_ilr_cbct_noc_rt_collective_bargaining_coverage_rate_2020, title = {Collective bargaining coverage rate (%) | Europe (ILOSTAT)}, author = {International Labour Organization (ILO)}, year = {2020}, url = {https://www.ilo.org/shinyapps/bulkexplorer/?id=ILR_CBCT_NOC_RT}, publisher = {HuggingFace Datasets, repackaged by Electric Sheep Europe}, howpublished = {\url{https://huggingface.co/datasets/electricsheepeurope/europe-ilo-ilr-cbct-noc-rt-collective-bargaining-coverage-rate}} } ``` ## License Released under [cc-by-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
