​Introduction and Background

The indicators on long-term unemployment look at duration of unemployment, that is, the length of time that an unemployed person has been without work, available for work and looking for a job. KILM 11 consists of two indicators to evaluate unemployment:​

​a) ​long-term unemployment – all persons without job continuously for more than a year (12 months)
​b) ​classify the amount of individuals into different unemployment duration clusters.

​The long-term unemployment indicator is further separated into:

​a) ​the long-term unemployment rate – measured as the sum of all those unemployed for longer than a year as a percentage of the labour force
​b) ​the incidence of long-term unemployment – measured as the sum of all those unemployed longer than a year as a percentage of the total unemployed.
