Labour market situation young people (15 to 27 years old); region (classification 2021)

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 Register (BRP) on 1 October of the reference year. It indicates whether young people work, whether they go to school, whether they receive benefits and whether they are registered as jobseekers with the UWV Werkbedrijf. For young people in employment, a distinction is made between employees and the self-employed. The data can be broken down by various regional breakdowns (region, province, COROP, labour market region and municipality). The total number of young people (15 to 27 years) receiving benefits within this table is higher than in other StatLine social security tables. This is because the number of benefits for the whole month is counted instead of the situation being presented on the last Friday of the month. This table also covers all social security benefits relating to incapacity for work, sickness, unemployment or social assistance. The reporting period is 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 financed by the public authorities on 1 October of the reference year. The municipalities are classified according to the situation on 1 January 2021. Data available from 2005. Data on whether or not registered as a jobseeker at the UWV Work Company will be available from 2018. In the predecessors of this table, data from the UWV Werkbedrijf (formerly CWI) were used for this purpose. Because this source was not continued in 2019, a switch was made to Registered Jobseekers UWV (GWU). However, these data are not available for the years 2005-2017. The figures refer to the situation in October of the year in question. Status of the figures: The figures for the years 2005 to 2019 in this table are final. The figures for 2020 are provisional. Changes as of 24 March 2022: None, this is a new table. When will there be new figures? The figures for 2021 will be published in spring 2023 in a new table with the 2022 regional breakdown.
