Employment rate; key figures (12 hour limit definition) 2003-2021

This table provides quarterly and annual figures on the employment rate in the Netherlands based on the definition of the labour force, which was at the heart of the CBS’s coverage until 2015. The population aged 15 to 75 (excluding the institutional population) is divided into the employed, unemployed and non-working population. The working population is further classified on the basis of the employment position and average working time. A breakdown by gender, age and level of education is available for the different classifications. Data available from 2003 to Q3 2021. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definitive. Changes as of 15 February 2022: None, this table has been stopped. Labour force figures based on the 12-hour limit are no longer compiled after the redesign of the EEW in 2021. When will there be new figures? No longer applicable.
