Why are these statistics needed?

Labour market transitions show the movements of individuals between the labour market statuses of employment, unemployment and economic inactivity. They help to understand and interpret changes in the levels of labour market indicators based on the EU labour force survey (LFS).

Breakdowns of labour market transitions (for example by sex, age and duration of unemployment) are important to understand the differences in transition probabilities between different groups.

Why are they experimental?

These statistics rely on regression models; they do thus rely on the assumptions of these models.

How are they produced?

Results are derived by matching quarterly data sets for individuals who are interviewed twice in two consecutive quarters.

Feedback

To help Eurostat improve these experimental statistics, users and researchers are kindly invited to give us their feedback by email:

  • How useful do you consider such detailed breakdowns of labour market transitions?
  • Please let us know which additional breakdowns you would find interesting, and for which transitions (e.g. transition from unemployment to employment, by previous work experience). You can consult the  LFS user guide to see which variables might be relevant for you (please note that only quarterly variables can be used).
  • How relevant is the availability of EU aggregates for your analysis, given that there is no data from Germany or Belgium that can be included?
