Employment rate by age group measures the proportion of employed individuals within a specific age demographic as a percentage of the total working-age population in that same group.
Employed persons include all working-age individuals who, during a brief reference period, were involved in any activity to produce goods or provide services for pay or profit. This encompasses those "at work," meaning they worked for at least one hour, as well as those "not at work" due to temporary absences from a job or specific working-time arrangements like shift work, flextime, or compensatory leave for overtime. This indicator is also seasonally adjusted to account for regular seasonal fluctuations.
The indicator is measured as the number of employed people in a given age group as a percentage of the working-age population in that same subgroup.
