Definition:
The volume of work includes the hours worked (actually working time) of all persons in employment.
Hours worked are also those of persons with several simultaneous employment relationships. On the other hand, paid but not worked hours, such as annual leave, parental leave, public holidays, short-time work or sick leave, are not part of the volume of work. Also excluded are the unpaid breaks for eating meals, as well as the time spent travelling from home to work and back. Neither the intensity nor the quality of the work carried out is taken into account.
Workers include all persons who, as workers or self-employed persons or family members, are engaged in an economic gainful activity within an economic territory.
Note:
A general audit was carried out in 2014. This mainly served to introduce the new European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) across Europe. ESA 2010 is based on the global new System of National Accounts (SNA 2008) and replaced the previous ESA 1995. As a result of this revision, the base year for the calculations changed from 2005 to 2010.
