Behind and beyond the (headcount) employment rate

2013 edition

Metadata o publikaci

This paper argues that we need more general statistical indices for the analysis of the European labour markets. First, the paper discusses some normative aspects implicit in the current definition of the employment rate, which is a fundamental policy target in the new strategy Europe 2020. Second, it proposes a class of generalised indices based on the intensive margin of labour supplied, as approximated by the total annual hours of work relative to a benchmark value, for both individuals and households. These indices provide a more nuanced picture of the European labour markets, which better reflects the diversity in the use of part-time and fixed-term jobs as well as other factors affecting the allocation of work across and within households.
