Measurement of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment: Current International Standards and Issues in their Application

By on January 01, 2007

The present article is intended to describe the basic concepts and definitions laid down in international standards for labour force statistics. Where relevant, particular issues are discussed that may arise in survey applications concerning measurement problems and the appropriate statistical treatment of particular categories of workers, such as self-employed persons, contributing family workers, casual workers, seasonal workers, apprentices and trainees, persons on lay-off, and persons engaged in the production of goods for own final use by their household, who sometimes are at the borderline between two or more labour force categories. The present article updates and supersedes an earlier article by the author on the topic, which had been published in 1989
