3.1. Data description | |||
The module 'Labour market situation of migrants and their immediate descendants' aimed at comparing the situation on the labour market for people born abroad, their descendants and people born in the reporting country, and further to analyse the factors affecting the integration in and adaptation to the labour market. The EU-LFS module 2021 on ‘labour market situation of migrants and their immediate descendants’ includes 11 variables. - HATCNT: Country where the highest level of education was successfully completed - ESTQUAL: Recognition of formal qualifications obtained abroad - HATPAR: Educational attainment level of the respondent’s parents - JOBSATISF: Job satisfaction - SKILLEQ: Skill equivalence new main and old main job - DISCRIMI: Feeling of being discriminated against at work in the current job - JOBOBSTA: Main obstacle to getting a suitable job - DURFIJOB: Time required to find the first paid job in the host country - PRKNLANG: Skills in the main host country language before migrating - LANGHOST: Current skills in the main host country language - LANGCOUR: Participation in course for the main host country language Although the module name refers to the migrants, the related dissemination products use the terminology 'people born abroad' and 'people born in the reporting country'. The rationale is that the target population is mostly filtered on the country of birth, the reference population corresponding therefore to the foreign-born/native-born concepts. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
The EU-LFS results are produced in accordance with the relevant international classification systems. The main classifications used are NACE Rev. 2 for economic activity, ISCO 08 (from 2011) for occupation, ISCED 2011 for level of education (from 2014) and ISCED-F 2013 for field of education (from 2016). Actual coding in the EU-LFS may deviate to some extent from those general standards; for more details on classifications, levels of aggregation and transition rules, please consult EU-LFS (Statistics Explained) - Methodology. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
As a general rule the EU-LFS covers all economic sectors. |
