Labour force; binding labour market 2000-2014

This table contains annual figures and quarterly figures on the link with the labour market of the Dutch population aged 15 to 65 by gender, age and educational level. The population is divided between the employed, the unemployed and the non-working population. The non-working population is again divided into persons who want to work 12 hours or more, but have not searched or were unavailable, persons who do not want to work and persons who are unable to work. The classification reflects the degree of bonding to the labour market. For the working population, the bond is the largest, for those who are unable to work, the smallest.
