Administrative employment rate aged 50-64

The employment rate reports the number of persons actually in employment (active population) to the population aged 15-64, as an annual average. It gives an idea of the effective participation in employment of a population that could potentially work. See also: — on our website ‘Statistics – labour market’, the employment accounts and the IWEPS Working Paper No 13. Note: From 2011 onwards, the indicators are calculated on the basis of Steunpunt Werk estimates, marked by a break in series in 2017: the method of estimating non-taxable students is modified and employees of international bodies have been included in the employed assets. In 2019, the source used by Steunpunt Werk for the number of outgoing frontier workers changed, leading to a drop in employment, i.e. also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate, which may be significant in some border municipalities. As a result of this problem and the delay in Steunpunt Werk’s estimates from the growing difficulty of obtaining sufficiently detailed employee data, from 2019 onwards the indicators are calculated on the basis of provisional IWEPS estimates.
