2. ***Reference Question of the Week ***
Question: I'd like to find statistics on number of women employed by particular industry in European countries.
Answer: The International Labour Organization (ILO) collects employment data by industry. You can access via UN data or directly from Labour Statistics Yearbook Database (LABORSTA). If you go to UN data, you will see employment in the database coverage block. From there, go to International Labor Organization (ILO) data. Under ILO, you will see LABORSTA where you'll find Employment by sex and industry branch for each country. You should be able to choose by country, industry sectors, gender, etc.
You can find more reference questions and answers at the Information Center Web site.
