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.
