Backward data for hours worked before 1990 A6 mandatory , A31 voluntary

Measured per hour worked , gains in labour productivity might fade out more quickly , given that the previous downward adjustment in average hours worked is likely to be reversed as the recovery unfolds .

the particular relevance of hours worked data should , however , be emphasised .

At present there is no obligation to transmit quarterly data showing the volume of hours worked .

Most of the information ( turnover , producer prices , wages , hours worked and employment ) is still to be developed .

the relevance of hours worked data e.g. for productivity measurement should however be emphasised .

annual growth rate of total hours worked .

Significant gaps exist in the field of labour market statistics , including basic data on employment and hours worked .

ECB Annual Report 2002 97

The ESA Regulation requires quarterly and annual employment data as well as data on unemployment and hours worked

Employment declined slightly in 2003 , while the total number of hours worked declined more significantly , as in 2002 .

However , in the context of a sharp decline in hours worked , there were noticeable divergences across indicators with regard to the extent of this moderation .

The decline in employment was not the ( annual percentage changes percentage point contributions ) only manifestation of a sharp reduction year on year growth in total hours worked in the euro area in labour demand .

In the second quarter contribution to total from changes in part time of 2009 the euro area witnessed the largest employment contribution to total from changes in full time year on year fall in total hours worked since employment the start of the series ( 2001 ) .

In addition , since part of the cyclical adjustment of labour input during the last downturn took place via a decline in hours worked per employee ( both part time and fulltime employees ) , labour has also been supported by a rebound in hours worked over the recent past . From a sectoral perspective , employment rose strongly in the services and construction sectors , while the protracted decline in industry ( excluding construction ) came to an end .

While the corresponding adjustment initially arises mostly through a reduction in hours per head , it is increasingly expected to weigh on the number of persons employed .

Reflecting the projections for economic activity , total hours worked in the euro area are expected to decline over the whole projection horizon .

In addition , compensation per employee was automatically affected by shorter working hours , a measure to which many firms resorted during the economic downturn .

The first net international investment position ( i.i.p. ) data for the euro area relating to end 1997 and end 1998 were published in the December 1999 issue of the ECB Monthly Bulletin .

To some extent this would contrast with developments observed in previous economic slowdowns , where employment rather than hours bore the brunt of the adjustment .

While the adjustment is initially projected to arise mostly through a reduction in hours per head , it is increasingly expected to weigh on the number of persons employed .

Moreover , data from labour force surveys suggest that the adjustment in labour inputs via hours worked per employed person featured in both sectors .

The decrease in the number of hours worked per week and the decreased participation of children and the elderly in the workforce have been attributed to capitalism.

The ESA Regulation also requires quarterly employment data as well as data on unemployment and hours worked ( the latter only at annual frequency as from 2003 ) .

Particularly steep falls were observed in industry excluding construction which often resorted to shorter working hours where growth in compensation per employee fell to zero by mid year .

The nature of the desirable indicators is similar to that in other sectors , i.e. indicators of activity ( e.g. turnover ) , of prices and wage costs and hours worked at aggregated level .

For data on employment , hours worked and gross wages and salaries , the proposed regulation requires quarterly data , with a transmission deadline of three months ( two months for employment ) .

The ECB gives priority to improvements in the measures for labour volume ( monthly employment , hours worked ) and vacancies , and labour market data for the service industries .

While the data convey relevant information in terms of comparing trends over time , they are unsuitable for cross country comparisons of the level of hours worked in any given year .

The Council Regulation concerning short term statistics covers monthly data for industry ( including construction ) on employment , and hours worked and employed persons for retail trade and other services .

2 Schemes adjusting working 1.0 1.0 hours have been extensively used by the private 2.0 2.0 sector , supported by measures introduced or 3.0 3.0 extended by governments designed to protect jobs during the downturn .

Thus , in the euro area , higher growth in employment and hours worked has been offset by losses in productivity growth , leaving the rate of output growth roughly unchanged .

However , its short term dynamics slowed towards the end of the year , probably as a result of some easing in the growth of non energy commodity prices , as well as the decline observed in oil prices and the appreciation of the euro vis à vis the US dollar . Further down the production chain , producer price inflation was more muted , although annual growth in capital and consumer goods prices continued the upward trend observed since mid 2005 .

Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning delays of transmission of the main aggregates of national accounts , derogations in this area and transmission of employment data in hours worked .

Reflecting the lagged adjustment to the sharp drop in output experienced until mid 2009 and the projected weakness in economic activity , total hours worked in the euro area are expected to decline until 2011 .

Some additional information is needed at quarterly frequency , in particular information on extra euro area exports and imports , hours worked and further information on income , saving and investment ( see also next section ) .

Labour input , in turn , is measured in two ways , namely in terms of either the total hours worked or the number of persons employed .

Turning to domestic price pressures , compensation per employee is expected to markedly decelerate in 2009 , in view of the deterioration of the labour market , the fall in inflation and the reduction in the number of hours worked per employee .
