Supplementary notes
The 'LFS main indicators' section presents a selection of the main statistics on the labor market. They encompass indicators of activity, employment and unemployment. Those indicators are based on the results of the European Labor Force Survey (EU-LFS), in few cases integrated with data sources like national accounts employment or registered unemployment.
NEET – young people neither in employment nor in education and training corresponds to the percentage of the population of a given age group and sex who is not employed and not involved in further (formal or non-formal) education or training. The numerator of the indicator refers to persons who meet the following two conditions: (a) they are not employed (i.e. unemployed or inactive according to the International Labor Organisation definition) and (b) they have not received any education or training (i.e. neither formal nor non-formal) in the four weeks preceding the survey. The denominator in the total population consists of the same age group and sex. LFS adjusted series for NEET are provided for the age groups 15 to 24 and 15 to 29.
