dc.description.abstract | The paper develops a framework to be applied in the Labour Force Surveys for
the measurement of labour force aggregates according to international
recommendations. While applying the international recommendations undoubtedly
simplifies the task of making comparisons between the labour market
situation in different countries, the proposed framework also appears to have
presentational and analytical advantages over the approach used hitherto in
Ireland. While the overall levels of employment
and unemployment are broadly similar under both approaches, it will be shown
that unemployment rates for married females may in reality be two and a half
times the levels which can be calculated from the Labour Force Survey reports
at present while male unemployment rates may be two to three percentage
points lower. | en |
