European social statistics - Labour market policy - Expenditure and participants - Products Statistical Books

This is the 8th edition of the Labour Market Policy database publication. It presents data on public expenditure and participants (or beneficiaries) of LMP interventions in 2005. Several improvements have been included in this issue. Firstly a full revision of the LMP methodology has been successfully completed and historical data revised accordingly. This work can be viewed in the Eurostat New Cronos database. The most important changes in this publication are the following: (1) new tables and graphs depicting EES indicators included; (2) data on participants are presented using a newly developed completion indicator that significantly improves the number of aggregates for which values are now available; (3) detailed tables for expenditure and participants now include sub-totals by type of intervention for each country; (4) all tables adopt a new lay-out for the presentation of flags and now use the same flags as in New Cronos; (5) the methodological notes are excluded and, instead, a link to the full version of the "LMP methodology" is provided; (6) additional tables with data on the labour reserve and the population wanting to work have been included, as well as (7) new tables showing national sources of data on expenditure and participants.
