Table explanation
This table provides an international comparison of the performance of the economy. This is done by means of a number of broadly accepted economic indicators as gross domestic product and employed labour force. These indicators are complemented by a number of indicators on the quality of life and ecological sustainability.
Note: Comparable definitions are used to facilitate international comparisons of the figures. The definitions used here sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table can differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.
Data available for: 1960, 1970, 1980 and from 1990 up to 2012.
Status of the figures:
The external sources of these data frequently supply adjusted figures on preceding periods. These adjusted data are not mentioned as such in the table.
Changes as of 1 March 2018:
This table has been discontinued.
When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.
Description topics
- Employed labour force
- Working population
- Employed persons aged 15 to 65 years within the total population aged 15 to 65 years. In this international comparison the definitions according to international directives are used. Someone is part of the employed labour force when he or she is 15 years or older and works more than 1 hour a week. This differs from the method used normally by Statistics Netherlands, where someone in the Netherlands is counted in the employed labour force when he or she works at least 12 hours a week.
