Description topics

Employed labour force acc. internat. def
Employed labour force according international definition.
The Dutch definition of the labour force deviates from the international
definition as given by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and
therefore gives different results. Firstly, according to the Dutch
definition only persons willing to work at least twelve hours a week are
taken into account. Secondly, the definitions of labour force vary. The
international definition requires prompt (two weeks) availability for
the labour market. According to the Dutch definition a period of three
months is allowed.
