Kommentar Erwerbspersonen geteilt durch Referenzpersonen mal einhundert. Die Erwerbsquote mißt den Anteil der Erwerbspersonen an der Referenzbevölkerung. Man unterscheidet: Bruttoerwerbsquote (gemessen an der Gesamtbevölkerung), standardisierte Erwerbsquote (gemessen an der der Bevölkerung ab 15 Jahren) und Nettoerwerbsquote (gemessen an der Bevölkerung zwischen 15 und 64 Jahren). The labour force participation rate consists of the economically active population in a particular age group as a percentage of the total population of that same age group. The active population (or labour force) is defined as the sum of persons in employment and unemployed persons seeking employment. This definition of employment is the one adopted by the Thirteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians (Geneva, 1982). National definitions may in some cases differ. For information on the differences in scope, definitions and methods of calculation used for the various national series, see International Labour Organization, Sources and Methods: Labour Statistics (formerly Statistical Sources and Methods), vol. 2, Employment, Wages, Hours of Work and Labour Cost (Establishment Surveys), 2nd edition (Geneva, 1995); vol. 3, Economically Active Population, Employment, Unemployment and Hours of Work (Household Surveys), 2nd edition (Geneva, 1990); and vol. 4, Employment, Unemployment, Wages and Hours of Work (Administrative Records and Related Sources) (Geneva, 1989). |
