A3a. Inactivity by age and sex: share of women and men who are inactive by age bpfa_a__lfsa_ipga

Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

Indicator A3a is a factor (i.e. causal) indicator of poverty. Employment is perceived by many Member States as a key factor for social inclusion and offers the most important means of escaping the poverty cycle.

For analysis of the situation, the age group 16-64 was used in the database.

Inactivity is defined as the percentage of persons who are neither employed nor unemployed in the labour market. Employed persons are all persons who worked at least one hour for pay or profit during the reference week or were temporarily absent from such work. Unemployed persons are all persons who were not employed during the reference week and had actively sought work during the past four weeks and were ready to begin working immediately within two weeks. Inactivity does not, however, mean that persons who are in this category are inactive in general. They can, for example, be taking care of children or incapacitated adults, doing domestic work or studying.
