Objective
In relation to the unemployed population, a society suffers periods of recession and when it shows a steady increase in the unemployment rates. An indicator of these periods of economic recession is the unemployment rate.
The long-term unemployment rate of the male population aged 16 and over is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed men aged 16 and over, who have been looking for employment for 12 months or more, by the working male population aged 16 and over. The indicator is based on the Population in Relation with Activity Survey (PRA). The survey covers the whole populations that live in “households” and excludes those that reside in collective dwellings, such as shelters, student halls of residence, hospitals,...
According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the long-term unemployed population (12 months and more) are all those people who, during the reference week, do not have a job or are self-employed, are looking for work and, in addition, are available to start work. In 2002, the way of putting this definition into practice changed pursuant to European Commission Regulation 1897/2000. From that year onwards, people have been considered to be unemployed if, apart from meeting the aforementioned conditions, they have actively seeking work by various methods envisaged in said regulation during the last four weeks.
