Unchanged table

Footnotes

Data from Faroe Islands will come as part of a new education registry in the future.

Target population: Total population 20-69 years.
Object: Individuals.

Data is to a large extent collected from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) which is an inquiry directed to households, designed to obtain information on the labour market and related issues through a series of personal interviews. LFS adopted a new methodology from 2021 onwards, leading to a break in time series for all countries in 2021. For more information regarding the new methodology and its implications, see this article.

There are additional breaks in time series and some points show low reliability for the Eurostat-sources. Please refer to Eurostat (table: lfsa_pgaed) and related metadata for more information.
