About this data
Trade in employment by characteristics adds a dimension to labour market indicators published in TiM database and is designed to complement OECD's Trade in Value Added (TiVA) indicators (TiVA). Estimates of employment embodied in foreign final demand (or in gross exports) can reveal the extent to which a country's workforce depends on its integration into the global economy. TiM indicators by characteristics are calculated using the OECD's Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) Tables, (ICIO), with recent official statistics of employment by industrial activity. • TiM web page. • TiM by characteristics documentation • ReadMe TiM by characteristics • Contact: icio-tiva.contact@oecd.org
