Based on the Recommendations of the 18th ICLS Working Group on the Measurement of Volunteer Work (ILO, 2008a) was adopted in 2013 a new ILO resolution at the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians. The “Resolution concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization” redefine the statistical concept of work and its measurement methodologies. There is reformed the active population structure measurement providing a new “statistical measurement of participation of all persons in all forms of work and in all sectors of the economy; of labour underutilization; and of interactions between different forms of work”. These new statistical instruments provides a wider and more precisely perspective regarding the concepts, definitions and guidelines for forms of work labour force status and the labour underutilization. In this essay, we consider important to put in discussion the importance of re-evaluation of the basic concepts of work and some implication for official statistics and public administration systems future developments in Romania
