Administrative employment rate of people aged 50-64

Valérie Vander Stricht

The employment rate refers to the number of people actually in employment (employed labour force) to the population aged 15-64, as an annual average. It gives an idea of the effective participation in employment of a population that could potentially work. 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.
