Unemployment

Definitions of Unemployment

  • Unemployment Rate. This is the % of people in the labour force without a job but  registered as being willing and available for work
  • Labour Force  Those people holding a job or registered as willing and able to work
    Therefore this is the number employed plus number unemployed (but actively seeking work)
  • Participation Rate The % of the population of working age declaring themselves to be in the
    Labour Force. This will exclude groups such as long-term disabled, women bringing up children and students

The participation rate is a similar concept to that of ‘economically active’.
