The adult employment-to-population in 2022 was higher in Iceland than any other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country, at 83.3 percent. The Netherlands ranked second with nearly 82 percent. On the other hand, it was lowest in Türkiye. The average for the entire bloc was 67.8. The employment-to-population ratio is a valuable addition to the unemployment rate because it includes the entire adult population, whereas the unemployment rate only considers those who are working or actively seeking a job, that is, only the workforce.

The infra-annual labour statistics dataset contains predominantly monthly and quarterly labour statistics, and associated statistical methodological information, for the OECD member countries and selected other economies. It covers countries that compile labour statistics from sample household surveys on a monthly or quarterly basis. It is widely accepted that household surveys are the best source for labour market key statistics. In such surveys, information is collected from people living in households through a representative sample and the surveys are based on standard methodology and procedures used internationally.

The subjects available cover: working age population by age; active and inactive labour force by age; employment by economic activity, by working time and by status; and, unemployment (including monthly unemployment) by age and by duration. Data is expressed in levels (thousands of persons) or rates (e.g. employment rate) where applicable. The relationship between these several measures are as follow:

• Working age population = Labour force population + Inactive population

• Labour force population = Employed population + Unemployed population

• Employment rate = Employed population / Working age population

• Unemployment rate = Unemployed population / Labour force population

• Labour force participation rate = Labour force population / Working age population

The infra-annual labour statistics compiled for all OECD member countries, are drawn from Labour Force Surveys based on definition provided by the 19th Conference of Labour Statisticians in 2013. The uniform application of these definitions across all OECD member countries results in estimates that are internationally comparable.
