Administrative unemployment rate of 15-64 year olds

The administrative unemployment rate reflects the proportion of people in the labour force who are unemployed, looking for a job and available for employment. It measures the imbalance between labour supply and demand. Note:From 2011, the indicators are calculated on the basis of the Steunpunt WSE estimates, marked by two series breaks: in 2017, the method of estimating non-taxable students is changed and employees of international organisations were integrated into employed workers In 2019, the source that provides the number of outgoing border workers changes, leading to a decrease in employment, thus also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate that can be significant in some border municipalities.
