Press Release 10 April 2014
Labour Force Survey 2013
In the EU28, 10 million part-timers are underemployed…
and 11 million persons considered as a potential additional labour force
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_PUBLIC/3-10042014-BP/EN/3-10042014-BP-EN.PDF
The EU28 population aged 15 to 74 can be classified into three groups: in 2013, these were 216.4 million persons
in employment, 26.2 million unemployed and 137.2 million economically inactive. Among those in employment,
43.7 million were part-time workers, of which 9.9 million (23% of part-time workers) are underemployed1
, meaning
they wished to work more hours and were available to do so.
Among the economically inactive population (those persons neither employed nor unemployed), there were 9.3
million persons aged 15 to 74 available to work, but not seeking2
and 2.2 million seeking work, but not available3
in
the EU28 in 2013. While not part of the economically active population, both groups have a certain attachment to
the labour market and could be considered as a potential additional labour force of 11.5 million persons, equivalent
to 4.7% of the labour force4
.
This information comes from an article5 http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Underemployment_and_potential_additional_labour_force_statistics
published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union,
based on the 2013 results of the European Labour Force Survey.
