The data in this table are based on the Survey labour force (EBB). The EBB is an investigation carried out by CBS is carried out to collect information about the relationship between people and the labour market. Here are the characteristics of persons in relation to with their current or future position in the labour market. The data in this table refer to unemployment duration. Duration of unemployment refers to the number of months a person is unemployed that’s it. On the basis of the Labour Force Survey, it has been established which persons belonging to the unemployed labour force and since this month these people are unemployed. The month when a person being unemployed is based on the month of the last job (of 12 hours per week or more than one year) or the month from job search (of 12 hours or more per week) or the moment of leaving school. The figures on the number of long-term unemployed are the result of a first study of the possibilities to arrive at a demarcation of long-term unemployment. Of the unemployed in the Occupational Population Survey (EBB) is known when they have stopped in the last job, when they are start looking for work and the moment of school leaving. With this data can be found out when someone has become unemployed; this is the start date of unemployment.
