1. LAMAS Working Group 7-8 December 2015
Agenda Item 3.1 AHM programme : draft delegated act

2. Background
IESS framework regulation, specifying information to be collected quarterly, annually, biennially and every 8 years, under discussion
Necessary to work in parallel under assumption that LFS basic act No 577/98 remains valid, as the obligation to have a multi-annual programme for the ad hoc modules
Ad hoc module programme covering
Regulation (EU) No 545/2014 => adoption of the programme should occur by the end of 2016

3. December 2014 LAMAS 1) Agreed on the 3 topics for the programme
AHM 2019: Work organisation and working time arrangements
AHM 2020: Accidents at work and other work-related health problems
AHM 2021: Labour situation of migrants and their immediate descendants
2) Agreed on the 3 sub-modules for AHM 2019
Flexibility of working times
Methods at work
Place of work
=> AHM 2019 = re-scheduled AHM 2015

4. AHM 2020 Proposed to be similar to AHM 2013
AHM 2013 worked well and can be repeated
Proposed sub-modules:
Accidents at work: identify accidents at work resulting in injuries, their type and impact in terms of work days lost or disability
Work-related health problems: identify physical or mental health problems caused or made worse by work, their type and impact in terms of work days lost or disability
Risk factors for the physical health and/or the mental well-being: identify if workers are exposed to risk factors that can affect their physical and/or mental health

5. AHM 2021 (1/2) Content based on AHM 2014, but with some adjustments
AHM 2014 as a whole provides useful results
However a couple of variables are problematic for some countries or for some answer modalities

6. AHM 2021 (2/2) Proposed sub-modules:
Background information on migrants and their immediate descendants: provide more details on this population, e.g. regarding educational background of parents and main reason for migrating or, when applicable, education or occupation before migration
Language skills: collect information about language skills of migrants
Obstacles and support to labour market participation: capture information on obstacles to labour market participation, on services for labour market integration and on individual approaches to finding work

7. Further steps
Multi-annual programme for AHMs should be defined by delegated act (if IESS FR is not yet adopted in 2017/18 or if its first year of implementation is not 2019)
After agreement by LAMAS, Eurostat will proceed with the legal steps for the programme adoption
Calendar of adoption procedure similar to the one for the multi-annual programme
Programme to be adopted no later than end 2016

8. LAMAS is invited to:
take note of the proposed sub-modules structure corresponding to the AHMs 2020 and 2021
endorse the proposed programme of ad hoc modules for
