Jobseekers registered with France Travail - Detailed stock by age (monthly, gross)

### Data These data provide the series of the number of jobseekers registered at the end of the month at Pôle emploi by category and by detailed age. The data are raw and rounded to the nearest 100. There may therefore be slight differences between the sum of the disaggregated data and the aggregated series. The ages used for the different series are the ages at the end of the month (age that the job seeker will have at the end of the month in question). The data in this file have all been labelled by the Public Statistics Authority for the period 2014-2020. ### Definition Full documentation on data on registered jobseekers and vacancies collected by France Travail can be found on the Dares website (see document _[Methodological documentation - Jobseekers](https://dares.travail-emploi.gouv.fr/enquete-source/les-statistiques-du-marche-du- travail#toc-t-l-charger-2)_). ### Field * the geographical grouping ‘**** Metropolitan France’ includes all the French territories on the European continent (96 departments); * The geographical grouping ‘France’ includes metropolitan France and the overseas departments/regions (DROM), with the exception of Mayotte. ### Source The data are taken from the files of the [Monthly Labour Market Statistics (STMT)] (https://dares.travail-emploi.gouv.fr/enquete-source/les-statistiques-du-marche-du- travail) of Dares and France Travail. ### Warnings #### Since 2022: Number of jobseekers in categories A and BC and reasons for leaving In January 2022, the month-end update procedure for jobseekers was improved for young people under 26 years of age. This was extended to young people under the age of 30 in February 2022. The new update form was introduced in stages during 2022 for jobseekers aged 30 or over from the various regions (see Incidents and procedural changes note). This development has a lasting downward impact on the number of jobseekers in category A, in return for a slight increase in departures from the lists at the time of the transition to the updated version, and a lasting increase in categories B and C linked to the better declaration of hours of reduced activity and a slight increase in departures from the lists at the time of the transition of the region to the updated version. In total, switching to the new update form would lead to a cumulative decrease of 105 000 jobseekers in category A between January and November 2022, increasing the number of jobseekers in categories B and C by 90 000 and exits by 15 000. The evolution of the update form also leads to a lasting change in the distribution of outflows by reason. In particular, with the new discounting script, there are more outflows due to non-discounting, while re-employment is reported less often: the share of discount defaults in outflows increases by 6 points and the share of re-employment decreases by 6 points.
