Details

Dear Bidder,

The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator.

Below is a summary of the work to be performed:

The consultant will update the GTAP-ILO employment dataset by harmonizing labour statistics from ILOSTAT with the 65 GTAP sectors for all countries/regions covered by the GTAP 12 database – with disaggregation by skills, sex, age and employment formality, using both headcount and full-time equivalent measures of employment. The assignment includes developing and implementing robust methodologies for identifying, handling, and imputing missing data, as well as validating the resulting estimates against relevant secondary data sources. The consultant will also review, update, and optimize the existing R scripts used for data processing and sector matching to improve efficiency, reproducibility, and transparency. In addition, the consultant will develop a data visualization tool to support quality assurance and validation of the processed data and prepare comprehensive technical documentation covering the data sources, processing workflow, harmonization methodology, imputation procedures, validation approach, and annotated source code to ensure the dataset and associated tools are fully reproducible, maintainable, and transferable to the ILO.

If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform.

Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline.

Thank you.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
