Percentage of employed persons in the population of the same age. The employment rate of the total population is calculated as the percentage of employed persons aged 15 to 64 in the population of the same age. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a sample survey used to compile monthly, quarterly and annual statistics on labour market participation, employment, unemployment and working time of the population aged 15-89. An employed person is a person who has worked at least one hour during the survey week to earn a salary or entrepreneurial income. A person temporarily absent from work during the survey week is also counted as employed if the reason for the absence is maternity or paternity leave, earnings-related parental leave, personal illness, holiday or working time arrangements; or if the period of absence is less than 3 months. The labour force includes all those who were employed or unemployed during the survey week.
