Labour force; history 1970-2006
Description
The data in this table are based on the Labour Force Survey
(EBB). The EBB is a study carried out by CBS to
gather information on the relationship between people and the labour market.
The characteristics of individuals are associated with their current
a future position in the labour market.
This table contains data from 1970 according to the current definition
(1991) of the working population aged 15 to 65. The labour force
consists of the employed and unemployed labour force. According to
the 1991 definition belongs to the employed labour force all
people who work 12 hours or more per week. To the unemployed
the labour force is counted as people who are not or less than 12.
working hours per week and actively seeking work of at least 12
hour a week.
Since 1987, labour force data have been based on the EBB.
The labour force data according to the new definition in the
years before 1987 are based on the 1981 Labour Force Counts,
1983 and 1985, the time series recorded unemployment according to the definition
1991, and the time series of labour force according to the past
definitions used. For a detailed description of the
method used to arrive at a neat time series, see "Composition
recorded unemployment rates and time series", H.B.A.
Bierings and C.M. Kragt, in: Labour force survey 1994, CBS.
Due to a new weighting method of the EBB, all EBB tables are
stopped and moved to the archive. Instead, they become
created new tables.
In these new tables are the figures with a new weighing method
corrected until 2001. Since 2001 it has also been
possible for a limited set of variables quarterly
to be published. The years for 2001 have not been corrected and
relate to the previously published figures. An extensive
description of the EBB’s new weighing method can be found
on the theme page.
