In the article special attention is paid to the problems of estimating the effect of temporary employment on injuries and occupational diseases. The purpose of the research is to form theoretical and methodological basis for assessing the impact of temporary and informal employment in its broad sense on the level of occupational safety to study the connection between the nature of employment and high risk of injury in the workplace. Various definitions of temporary employment and concepts related to this term are analyzed, which are often used in scientific research. The main characteristics of concepts such as temporary employment, informal economy, informal sector, informal employment, conditional employment are considered. It is substantiated that statistical observation of informal employment is important not only for the improvement of employment policy and statistics of national accounts, but also for the formulation and implementation of labor protection programs, poverty reduction, promotion of small and medium enterprises, productivity growth and socio-economic development of territorial units, creating new jobs. The analysis of the organization of labor and the state of labor markets by countries of the world based on indicators of under-utilization of labor force is carried out. The tendencies of changes in the share of workers with temporary employment by the countries of the world and the changes in the organization of labor influence the labor protection are analyzed. Risk factors that distinguish the work of temporary workers from other types of employment are identified and analyzed, as well as factors that explain the causes of lower levels of occupational safety among temporary employees. The peculiarities of the research of temporary agency workers are determined. It is proved that the lack of mechanisms for monitoring the necessary aspects of the functioning of the labor market impedes the work of regulators, law enforcement agencies and politicians who, in the case of availability of relevant information, can act to strengthen national labor safety standards.

Statistical Operation

A tourism satellite account (TSA) is a synthetic statistical operation closely linked to the central core of a country's national accounts, placing an emphasis on tourism activity. It isolates the various items making up economic tourism activity from the universe of national accounts in order to: specify the impact and describe the direct and indirect effects of tourism on the economy; quantify the overall impact of tourism; analyse the relationships between tourism and the rest of the economy; and make it possible to use major qualitative parameters in analysing tourism activity – place of residence, sex, income, duration of stay, etc. This report outlines the efforts of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) to develop a flexible and sustainable framework for the national and international implementation of TSAs.

All this reduces the impact of monetary and fiscal policies and underline the importance of structural policies. The chapter also discusses the accounting conventions and practices used to overcome such problems, and the impact all this has on the estimates of the main macroeconomic aggregates and the evaluation of the impact of public policies.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of Indonesia’s tax reforms of 2000 and 2008/2009 on taxpayers’ noncompliance. Noncompliance is defined as the difference between the Value Added Tax (VAT) liability and the actual revenue. Data are mainly collected from the World Input-Output Database and Indonesia’s Central Board of Statistics. The methodology uses one of the ‘top-down’ approaches, in which national accounts figures are employed to arrive at an estimation of the VAT liability. It is found that compliance deteriorated when reform efforts were incomplete – that is when the reforms suffered from decelerations, setbacks or reversals. This paper contributes to the literature by providing a framework for analyzing the impact of tax reform on taxpayer’s compliance behavior.

The Impact

Coming on top of long-term employment challenges, the COVID-19 crisis has severely impacted economies around the world. Due to the nature of their labour markets, middle-income countries (MICs), including India, have experienced greater employment declines than advanced economies. Some sectors have been hit harder than others, while certain groups—including women, youth, migrants and those in the informal economy—have felt the brunt of the crisis even more strongly. The crisis has raised unemployment and, even more, has also pushed many out of the labour force, raising inactivity. Overall, the crisis has exacerbated existing inequalities in countries and across countries. The major challenge for MICs is to finance the continuing efforts to battle the crisis while shifting to a job-rich and inclusive recovery. Key lessons have already emerged, which are relevant for India and other developing countries, including the importance of building a more resilient and inclusive labour market through strong institutions and policies.

The Impact

The article provides a comparative analysis of the ILO Convention No. 190 and Ukrainian legislation concerning the issues of combating violence and harassment in the world of work. ILO standards have traditionally been one of the key sources of national labour law. Conventions and recommendations of this organization represent a balance of interests of workers, employers and governments, which have also been properly tested both in time and in practice. ILO Convention No. 190 is not an exception in this case. Ratification of this Convention will not only strengthen the international status of Ukraine, but also improve national mechanisms to combat violence and harassment in labour relations. Among the key features of the ILO Convention No. 190 the following should be highlighted: providing a definition of "violence and harassment" in the world of work, specification of the powers of the labour inspectorate in terms of detecting cases of violence and harassment, adoption in consultation with employees a workplace policy on violence and harassment, ensuring easy access to appropriate and effective remedies and dispute resolution mechanisms, etc. It has been established that Ukraine currently has a proper basis for ratification of ILO Convention No. 190. This is primarily due to the adoption in 2017 of the Law on Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence, which introduced a number of important amendments to existing legislation in terms of enshrining at the regulatory level the concepts of "sexual harassment" and "gender-based violence", as well as mechanisms to combat them. The recognition of this Convention as legally binding for Ukraine would further eliminate a number of existing gaps in legal regulation relating to combating violence and harassment in the world of work. Such gaps include: the lack of a clear mandate from the State Labour Service to exercise state control over employers' compliance with anti-violence and harassment legislation, not taking into account violence and harassment and associated psychosocial risks in the management of occupational safety and health, lack of norms that would mitigate the impact of do- mestic violence in the world of work, etc.
