Labour market situation for young people aged 15 to 27; region 2020, 2005-2019

This table provides information on the labour market situation of all young people aged 15 to 27 in the Netherlands who were registered in the Basic Persons Registration (BRP) on 1 October of the reference year. This indicates whether young people work, whether they go to school, whether they receive a benefit and whether they are registered as a jobseeker with the UWV Werkbedrijf. For young people in employment, a distinction is made between workers and the self-employed. The data can be broken down by various regional breakdowns (country, province, COROP, Labour market region and municipality). The total number of young people (15 to 27 years old) with a benefit within this table is higher than in other StatLine tables on social security. This is because the number of benefits is counted throughout the month instead of the situation being presented on the last Friday of the month. This table also covers all social security benefits related to incapacity for work, sickness, unemployment or assistance. The reporting period shall be the month of October of the reference year. Whether a person goes to school is determined on the basis of an enrolment in the education funded by the government on 1 October of the reference year. The municipalities are divided according to the situation on 1 January 2020. In order to show how young people in the Netherlands are doing, the National Youth Monitor describes more than 70 topics in addition to this topic. The topics are called indicators. Data available from 2005. Data on whether or not to be registered as a job seeker with the UWV Werkbedrijf will be available from 2018. In predecessors of this table, data from the UWV Werkbedrijf (formerly CWI) was used for this purpose. Because this source did not continue in 2019, a switch was made to Registered Job Seekers UWV (GWU). However, these data are not available for the years 2005-2017. The figures refer to the situation in the month of October of the year in question. Data available from 2005 to 2019 Status of the figures: The figures for the years 2005 to 2018 in this table are final. The figures for 2019 are provisional. Changes as of 19 August 2022: None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of 5 March 2021: None; this is a new table. Compared to the predecessor of this table (see paragraph 3), the way in which registered jobseekers are determined has changed. Unfortunately, for the years 2005-2017 no breakdown can be made between registered or unregistered job seekers at the UWV. Moreover, the figure for 2018 differs slightly from the predecessor by using this new source (see paragraph 3). When are new figures coming? No longer applicable.
