The ILO Bureau of Statistics has recently added a new series on household income and expenditure and poverty measures to their on-line statistical database LABORSTA Internet. The new series comprises the following tables that were provided by 57 countries and territories in 2005 (Years covered vary by country and range from 1995 to 2004):
- Table 1: Characteristics of Households by Expenditure Class
- Table 2: Distribution of Household Expenditure Groups
- Table 3: Distribution of Households by Age of Household Head and by Household Size
- Table 4: Distribution of Household Income by Source
- Table 5: Distribution of Households by Household Size and Sex of Household Head

The ILO’s gathering of these statistics is conducted every 10 years from countries known to have household income and expenditure statistics.
