Average hourly earnings of employees by sex, occupation and currency | Asia (ILOSTAT)
🌏 30,895 observations · 31 Asia countries · 1997–2025 · Repackaged by [Electric Sheep Asia](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepasia)
TL;DR
This dataset contains 30,895 observations of Earnings data across 31 Asia countries, spanning 1997–2025, covering 1 distinct indicators.
About the source
ILOSTAT is the ILO's central statistics database, the leading global source for labour statistics. 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.
Methodology
Data pulled directly from the ILOSTAT REST API at https://rplumber.ilo.org/data/indicator?id=EAR_EHRA_SEX_OCU_CUR_NB and filtered to Asia 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
31 Asia countries · top rows shown below, sorted by row count:
Indicators (sample)
EAR_EHRA_SEX_OCU_CUR_NB— Average hourly earnings of employees by sex, occupation and currency
Schema
Disaggregation dimensions
The following columns provide disaggregation dimensions:
- `sex` (4 unique values):
SEX_T,SEX_M,SEX_F,SEX_O
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
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepasia/asia-ilo-ear-ehra-sex-ocu-cur-nb-average-hourly-earnings-of-employees-by-sex-occupa")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())Filter to one country
indonesia = df[df["ref_area"] == "IDN"]Time-series for a single indicator
sample = (df[df["indicator"] == "EAR_EHRA_SEX_OCU_CUR_NB"]
.sort_values("time"))
sample.plot(x="time", y="obs_value", title="EAR_EHRA_SEX_OCU_CUR_NB")Pivot to country × year matrix
matrix = (df[df["indicator"] == "EAR_EHRA_SEX_OCU_CUR_NB"]
.pivot_table(index="time", columns="ref_area", values="obs_value"))
