Administrative unemployment rate of 15-19 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. See also: - on our website 'Labour Market Statistics', The Employment Accounts and the IWEPS Working Paper No 13. Note: From 2011, the indicators are calculated on the basis of Steunpunt Werk estimates, which showed a break in series in 2017: the methodology for estimating non-taxable students is changed and employees of international organisations have been included in the employed assets. In 2019, the source used by Steunpunt Werk for the number of outgoing cross-border commuters changes, which leads to a drop in employment, and therefore also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate, which can be significant in some border municipalities. As a result of this problem and the delay in Steunpunt Werk’s estimates due to the increasing difficulty of obtaining sufficiently detailed data on employed workers, from 2019 the indicators are calculated on the basis of provisional estimates from IWEPS.
