Statistical Annex
Sources and definitionsMost of the statistics shown in these tables can also be found in two other (paper or
electronic) publication and data repository, as follows:
● The annual edition of OECD Labour Force Statistics, 1989-2009.
● OECD.Stat, the OECD’s central data warehouse (www.oecd.org/els/employment/data), which
contains both raw data and derived statistics.
These references, which include information on definitions, notes and sources used
by member countries, contain longer time series and more detailed data by age group,
gender, educational attainment, part-time employment, temporary employment (included
for the first time in this annex), duration of unemployment, and other series than are
shown in this annex, such as, employee job tenure, involuntary part-time employment,
distribution of employment by weekly usual hours worked intervals, etc.
Data for Chile, Estonia, Israel, Slovenia and the Russian Federation are included, for the
first time, in several tables. They are annual averages of quarterly estimates based on labour
force surveys. Statistical tables showing data for Israel are supplemented with the following
footnote: The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant
Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan
Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law.
Please note that the data on employment, unemployment and the labour force are not
necessarily the same as the series used for analyses and forecasting by the OECD
Economics Department that are reported in the OECD Economic Outlook and included in
some charts and tables of Chapter 1 of this publication.
Interested users can refer to the online database (www.oecd.org/els/employment/database),
which contains data series on the labour market situation in OECD countries: population,
labour force, employment and unemployment disaggregated by gender and age, educational
attainment, employment status and sector of activity, participation and unemployment
rates, statistics on part-time employment and duration of unemployment, job tenure, etc.
The online database contains a number of additional series on labour market performances
and on features of the institutional and regulatory environment affecting the functioning of
labour markets. Among these are the following:
● Annual hours of work data for comparisons of trends over time.
● Distribution of gross earnings of full-time workers by earnings decile and by sex to derive
various measures of earnings dispersion.
● Gross mean and median earnings of full-time workers by age group and gender.
● Statutory minimum wages.

● Trade union density rates in OECD member countries.

In May 2010, OECD countries welcomed four new members: Chile, Estonia, Israel and
Slovenia. The Russian Federation is currently undergoing an accession process.
Major breaks in series
Table A: breaks in series have been adjusted to ensure that harmonised unemployment rates areconsistent over time.
Tables B to F and Table H: most of the breaks in series mentioned below occurred for any of thefollowing reasons: changes in survey design, survey questionnaire, survey frequency andadministration, revisions of data series based on updated population census results. Thesechanges have affected the comparability over time of employment and/or unemployment levelsand to a certain extent the ratios reported in the aforementioned tables:
● Introduction of a continuous survey: Austria (2003/04), Belgium (1998/99), Czech Republic (1996/97),Denmark (1999/2000, quarterly continuous survey), Finland (1999/2000), France (2002/03),Germany (2004/05), Hungary (2002/03), Iceland (2002/03), Ireland (1996/97/98), Italy (2003/04),Luxembourg (2002/03), Netherlands (1999/2000, quarterly continuous survey), Norway (1995/96),Poland (1998/99/2000), Portugal (1997/98), Slovak Republic (1997/98), Spain (1998/99), and UnitedKingdom (1991/92).
● Redesign of labour force survey: Greece (1997/98), Portugal (1997/98), Slovak Republic (1998/99),Spain (2004/05), Turkey (1999/2000 – half-yearly to quarterly results). New survey in Mexicosince 2005 (Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo – ENOE) with a different questionnaire fromthat of the previous survey.
● Change in the operational definition of unemployment regarding:
❖ Active job-search methods, in particular change from registration to contact with the publicemployment service: France (2002/03), Spain (2000/01).
❖ Work availability criteria changed from reference week to two weeks after the reference weekto be consistent with the operational definition in other EU countries: Sweden (2004/05).
❖ Persons on lay-off considered as employed instead of unemployed: Norway (2005/06).
❖ Duration of active job search changed from one week to four weeks: Korea (1999/2000); this changeoccurred in June 2005 and data were revised since 2000 to take into account the new criteria.
❖ Other minor changes: Australia (2000/01) and Poland (2003/04).
● Changes in the questionnaire with impact on employment and unemployment estimates: Spain (2004/05)and unemployment estimates Sweden (2004/05), Norway (2005/06).
● Change from seasonal to calendar quarters: Slovak Republic (1999/2000) and the United Kingdom(2005/06). However, there is no break in series between 2005 and 2006 for the United Kingdom ascalendar-quarter based historical series are available since 1992.
● Introduction of new EU-harmonised questionnaire: Sweden (2004/05).
● Change in lower age limit from 16 to 15 years: Norway (2005/06). Moreover, since 2006, age is definedas completed years at the time of the reference week, instead of completed years at the end ofthe year, as earlier.
● Inclusion of population controls based on Census results in the estimation process: Spain (1995/96),Turkey (2006/07), United Kingdom (revised series 1992), United States (1999/2000).
Further explanations on breaks in series and their impact on employment and unemploymentlevels and on ratios can be found at: www.oecd.org/els/employment/outlook.

Note: In so far as possible, the data have been adjusted to conform to the guidelines of the International Labour Office. All series are benchmarked to labour-force-survey-based estimates. In countries with annual surveys, monthly estimates are obtained by interpolation/extrapolation and by incorporating trends in administrative data, whereavailable. The annual figures are then calculated by averaging the monthly estimates (for both unemployed and the labour force). For countries with monthly or quarterlysurveys, the annual estimates are obtained by averaging the monthly or quarterly estimates, respectively. For several countries, the adjustment procedure used is similar tothat of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor. For EU countries, Norway and Turkey, harmonised unemployment rates are produced by the StatisticalOffice of the European Communities (Eurostat). Minor differences may appear mainly because of various methods of calculating and applying adjustment factors, andbecause EU estimates are based on the civilian labour force. For a fuller description, please refer to the following URL: www.oecd.org/std .
a) Data for 1996 are estimates.
b) Weighted average for above countries only.
