Employed labour force

Employed labour force

Dutch residents who have paid work for twelve hours a week or more.

Professional prestige

Professional prestige was determined by ascribing prestigescores to
descriptions of professions according to a scale that was developed by
Ultee and Sixma (1984) for the Netherlands. This scale varies from 13
points (for professions with low prestige) until 87 points (for
professions with high prestige). In this table the mean U&S prestigescore
was determined for the employed labour force.

Socio-economic status

Socio-economic status is determined by ascribing a score to a profession
according to the International Socio-Economic Index (ISEI) that was
developed by Ganzeboom, De Graaf en Treiman (1992). ISEI-scores are
calculated to reckon in the required level of education for professions
as well as the income and prestige of these professions. The scores can
vary from 0 to 100. In this table the mean ISEI-score was determined for
the employed labour force.

Unemployed labour force

People without work, or with less than twelve hours of paid work a week,
who are actively looking for paid work for twelve hours a week or more
and who are directly available for this job.

People not included in the labour force

The part of the potential labour force (15 to 65) that doesn't belong to
the labour force.
