The “Population and Labour Force” dataset is a subset of the Annual Labour Force Statistics (ALFS) database which contains annual labour force statistics and population series for the 34 OECD Member countries plus Colombia, Brazil and Russian Federation. Series are presented in two subsets: population and; labour force statistics. Within the main components of the labour force namely, total and civilian employment and unemployment, indicators on part-time work and unemployment duration are presented. When available the data are broken down by gender.
Population series are compiled and revised from Census data. Unless otherwise specified in the country notes, data refer to the current territory of the country.
Population data are also available under the theme “Demography and population” together with Vital Statistics.
