datasets.shared.infosheet.CitationMgr@e11 Dataset: Presents a series of indicators describing the labor market characteristics of European Union member states, EU aggregates, and other nations on an ad hoc basis. Statistics are included on educational attainment and labor market outcomes, employment and unemployment, job vacancies, gross and net earnings, gender pay gap, labor costs incurred by business, and policy interventions in the labor market. Data on employment and unemployment are drawn from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), a continuous quarterly survey conducted among a large sample of private households (approximately 1.5 million per quarter). Data are broken down along many dimensions including age, sex, educational attainment, and distinctions between permanent/temporary and full-time/part-time employment. The LFS covers people aged 15 and over in the EU, European Free Trade Association, and candidate countries. Earnings data are drawn from the four-yearly Structure of Earnings Survey and labor costs from the four-yearly Labour Cost Surveys. Certain statistics are presented by NACE Rev. 1 and Rev. 2 classifications, using the European System of Classifications 1995 (ESA-95). NACE is a 4-digit nomenclature of economic activities that was originally drawn up in 1970 and further developed over subsequent decades, with a major revision in 2002 resulting in Rev. 2. Noted indicators are presented by NUTS (Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics) regions as defined and regulated by the EU. Provides harmonized, national-level data on the euro area, European Union (EU) member states, EU candidate states, and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, where available. Indicators are presented in seven broad categories: economy and finance; population and social conditions; industry, trade, and services; agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; international trade; transportation; environment and energy; and science and technology. The euro area comprises the EU member states that adopted the euro as their common currency, which was established in January 1999 with 11 countries and has expanded to 17 countries known as the EA-17: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The EU (EU-27) includes the EA-17 countries plus: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. EFTA currently comprises Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. For further information on the countries included in the statistics presented in this dataset, please visit http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Main_Page . Data are provided by national statistical authorities to Eurostat, where they are harmonized using European-wide methodologies. Data are released at the indicator level on a schedule maintained by Eurostat; hence, currency may vary across indicators. Periodicity is annual for all indicators; monthly and quarterly data is also provided where available. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing Category: Labor and Employment Subject: Employment, European Union, Labor Force, Unemployment Source: Eurostat Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union (EU) located in Luxembourg. Eurostat was established in 1953 to meet the requirements of the Coal and Steel Community. Over the years its task has broadened, and it became a Directorate-General (DG) of the European Commission when the European Community was founded in 1958. Eurostat’s key role is to supply comparable statistics on European Union member state and candidate and European Free Trade Association countries to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European Institutions with data so they can define, implement, and analyze EU policies. Eurostat does not collect data; rather, the agency’s role is to consolidate data sent from the statistical authorities of member states and ensure they are comparable, harmonized according to Europe-wide methodologies. With the development of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the establishment of the euro as the single currency, Eurostat now publishes economic indicators for the whole euro-zone. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat
