Labour Market in the Czech Republic

Methodology of LFSS indicators

Contents

Based on the above-mentioned resolution of the ILO of October 1982, the population can be split, according to the relation to labour market, into basic categories. These are shown in the table below, which also indicates relative representation of individual groups in the Czech Republic (the 4th quarter of 2001).
The basic and key criterion for placing a respondent in a particular group is always the respondent’s actual activity in the labour market in a reference week and not the respondent’s usual status.

Definitions of individual LFSS indicators are only focussed on basic indicators which are connected with population aged over 15 (younger persons are always taken for economically not active). Important features quantified in relevant blocks of tables are monitored in each of the population groups mentioned above. The meaning of these specific indicators is not described for their extensiveness. It is either evident (the indicator is self-explanatory) or can be obtained from the CSO, if need be.
