THE STANDARD CLASSIFICATION

The standard classification is:

  • employed;
  • unemployed;
  • not in the labour force.

The categories 'employed' and 'unemployed' can be aggregated to form the total 'labour force'. It may be useful for certain types of social analysis to combine the categories 'unemployed' and 'not in the labour force' to form the category 'not employed'. This output label should always be footnoted with 'unemployed or not in the labour force'.
