ADePT Labor is an integrated set of programs that allows users to produce tables for analysis of labor market conditions in low- and middle-income countries. The set of tables that ADePT Labor produces corresponds to the guidelines defined in “A Guide for Assessing Labor Market Conditions in Developing Countries” as well as those set forth in "The Role of Employment and Labor Income in Shared Growth: What to Look for and How". The program also generates a report with basic statistics on all variables and a list of errors, warnings and notes about the variables used in the analysis. While ADePT is operated from within Stata and written in Stata programming language, ADePT itself is window-based and the user does not need to know Stata to work with the program. ADePT can use both Stata .dta and SPSS .sav data files. The current version of ADePT Labor processes individual level data in Stata and SPSS formats and generates about 30 tables on employment status, earings, working hours, inequality, as well as poverty and child labor. The documentation for ADePT Labor program consists of the following documents: An example of tables produced using Nicaragua data can be downloaded in PDF or XML format. More information on the relationship between employment, growth and poverty can be found on the Employment and Shared Growth webpage.
ADePT Labor requires Stata version 9.2 or later
