Labour market situation for young people (15-27 years);personal characteristics,2005-2018

This table provides information on the labour market situation of all young people aged 15 to 27 in the Netherlands who were registered in the Basic Persons Registration (BRP) on 1 October of the reference year. This indicates whether young people work, whether they go to school, whether they receive a benefit and whether they are registered as a jobseeker at the UWV Werkbedrijf. For young people in employment, a distinction is made between workers and the self-employed. The total number of young people (15 to 27 years old) with a benefit within this table is higher than in other StatLine tables on social security. This is because the number of benefits is counted throughout the month instead of the situation being presented on the last Friday of the month. This table also covers all social security benefits related to incapacity for work, sickness, unemployment or assistance. The total number of young people aged 15 to 27 in this table differs slightly from the total number of young people aged 15 to 27 in the labour market situation table for young people (15 to 27 years old). region (classification 2019) (see paragraph 3). This is because the age of a person in this table is determined in a different way. The reporting period shall be the month of October of the reference year. Whether a person goes to school is determined on the basis of an enrolment in the education funded by the government on 1 October of the reference year. Data available from 2005 to 2018. The figures refer to the situation in the month of October of the year in question. Status of the figures: The figures for the years 2005 to 2017 in this table are final. The figures for 2018 are provisional. Changes as of 4 March 2021: None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of 27 June 2019: 2017 figures have been added. With the addition of 2017 figures, the categorical classification of the personal attribute age has also changed to a more common classification. The old categorical classification of age ranged from 0 to 18 years, under 23 years, 0 to 25 years, 18 to 23 years, 23 to 25 years, 23 to 27 years and 25 to 27 years. The new categorical classification of age covers 15 to 20 years, 20 to 25 years, 15 to 25 years, 15 to 27 years and 25 to 27 years. For the reporting years 2012 to 2016, figures based on the old categorical age classification shall remain available on request. In addition, the addition of 2017 figures exempted wages and pensions of international organisations for the reporting years 2011 to 2017. Persons who are part of international organisations or receive pensions from these organisations were not previously considered to be working. This is the case in the current version. This leads to minor differences compared to the previous version of this table. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. This table is followed by the labour market situation table for young people (15 to 27 years old); personal characteristics. See paragraph 3.
