4 The rationale for harmonization
Regional integration: macro economic convergence criteria: CPI, GDP and related aggregates… Sustainable growth and development plans and programmes: GDP and related aggregates, other development indicators Women equality and empowerment: various gender sensitive statistics APRM: a set of indicators for the assessment For comparison purposes: harmonized information 4

5 Potential areas of concerns
Variability based on: Survey methodology (surveyed units) Size in terms of employment Inclusion of the agriculture sector Registration criteria Minimum age of the potential active individual 5

6 The way forward Need to deepen the discussions on the informal sector and informal employment measurement A natural forum is the newly set up Working Group on the informal sector and informal employment measurement Join the group to reinforce the pertinence of the discussions since the informal sector is very important in the region 6
