CENSUS 2011: Administrative unemployment rate of 15-64 year olds

The administrative unemployment rate reflects the proportion of people in the labour force who are unemployed, looking for work and available for work. It measures the imbalance between labour supply and demand. Data from the 2011 Census are the most recent data we currently have at the sub-communal level. The Census population is not strictly defined in the same way as that used for the other labour market indicators. This can impact the results even if the orders of magnitude remain the same. Note: From 2011, the indicators are calculated on the basis of the Steunpunt WSE estimates, marked by two breaks in series: in 2017, the method for estimating non-taxable students is modified and employees of international organisations have been included in the employed population In 2019, the source that provides the number of outgoing cross-border commuters changes, which leads to a decrease in employment, and therefore also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate, which can be significant in some border municipalities.
