Administrative employment rate aged 15-64

The employment rate reports the number of people who actually have a job (working population) to the population aged 15 to 64, on an annual average. It gives an idea of the actual participation in employment of a population that could potentially work. Note: From 2011, the indicators are calculated on the basis of the Steunpunt WSE estimates, marked by two series breaks: in 2017, the method of estimating non-taxable students is changed and employees of international organisations were integrated into employed workers In 2019, the source that provides the number of outgoing border workers changes, leading to a decrease in employment, thus also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate that can be significant in some border municipalities.
