MetricUnemployment and labour underutilization

Potential labour force and willing non-jobseekers rate (previous ILO definition - ICLS13) - ILOSTAT EIP_XJOB_RT

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Reports the ILOSTAT representative-variable family EIP_XJOB_RT, “Potential labour force and willing non-jobseekers rate (previous ILO definition - ICLS13)”, for its official country, regional or global labour-statistical population. Table classifications, frequencies, geographies, years and observations remain dimensions rather than duplicate metric identities.

Disclosure form

Apply the current ILOSTAT metadata method for the named representative-variable family

The catalogue establishes the governed variable-family identity while the applicable formula, numerator, denominator, unit and classifications are maintained in table-specific ILOSTAT metadata.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: ILOSTAT public indicator catalogue snapshot 31 August 2026; current Decent Work measurement framework

  • State the ILOSTAT representative-variable code, table ID, indicator code and metadata edition.
  • State the reporting population, geography, reference period, frequency, unit, scale, numerator and denominator where applicable.
  • Preserve the source-defined sex, age, activity, occupation, education and other classification dimensions.
  • Disclose data source, modelled or observed status, estimation, breaks, exclusions, uncertainty and revision status.

Record-specific limitations

  • ILOSTAT indicator families primarily govern official country, regional and global labour statistics; they do not automatically define company-level workforce disclosures.
  • Annual, quarterly and monthly tables are reporting cadences, not separate metric identities.
  • Country, region, year, classification and observation rows are data points or dimensions, not additional canonical metric pages.
  • Comparability depends on the selected table definition, population, unit, classification, estimation status, source and method edition.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
