UNEMPLOYMENT/ UNDEREMPLOYMENT WATCH Q2 2015

In computing the unemployment rate, the total population is divided into labour force (currently active) and non‐labour force (not currently active). The labour force population covers all persons aged 15 to 64 years who are willing and able to work regardless of whether they have a job or not. The definition of unemployment therefore covers persons (aged 15–64) who during the reference period were currently available for work, actively seeking for work but were without work.
