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 (within two weeks)
availability for the labour market. According to the Dutch definition a
period of three months is allowed.

seasonal effects.
