Labour force acc.to internat. definition
Labour force according to the international definition.
The Dutch definition of the labour force deviates from the international
definition as given by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and
therefore gives different results. Firstly, according to the Dutch
definition only persons willing to work at least twelve hours a week are
taken into account. Secondly, the definitions of labour force vary. The
international definition requires prompt (within two weeks) availability
for the labour market. According to the Dutch definition a period of three
months is allowed.
Unemployment as a percentage
Unemployed labour force as a percentage of the total labour force.
Classification according to ISCO88
Occupations according to the International Standard Classification of
Occupations 1988.
Legislators, senior officials, managers
