Explanation of symbols

Table explanation

This table contains information on the labour position of the population of Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba (Caribbean Netherlands). The figures are presented according to the international definition of the employed labour force (15 years and older) and according to the Dutch national definition (15-64 years old). The figures are broken down by sex, age, level of education and country of birth.

Data available on: 2012

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 21 October 2015:
None, this table was stopped.

When will new figures be published?
Table is stopped. On 21 October 2015 new tables on the labour force in the Caribbean Netherlands were published. The reason for these new tables is the current use of international definitions for the labour force. The tables on the labour force in the Netherlands
were already changed accordingly in February. This was now also done for the tables on the Caribbean Netherlands.

Description topics

Position on the job market(intern. def.)

Classification of the population into:
- the employed labour force,
- the unemployed labour force,
- the non-labour force.
---
The Dutch national definition of the labour force deviates from the definition that is used internationally: the definition of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). As a consequence the number and composition of the labour force differs. Firstly, for the Dutch national definition a twelve hours threshold is used for the number of hours a person works or wants to work per week. For the international definition this is not the case.
Secondly, the unemployed labour force is defined differently. According to the international definition someone has to be available to start working within two weeks. For the Dutch national definition a term of three months within which a person can start working or started to search for work, is used for specific cases. Lastly, also the age definition deviates.

Total population aged 15-64 years

Labour force: All persons (15 years and older) who:
- works for at least one hour a week, or
- has accepted a job for at least one hour a week, or
- wants to work for at least one hour a week, is available to do so and has undertaken activities to find a job of at least one hour a week.
