This table contains figures on the inflow and outflow of employees in the care and welfare sector narrow; this is an aggregate of all sectors in the care and welfare sector, excluding childcare. The reference date of the figures is the last day of each quarter, with the exception of the 4th quarter. In the 4th quarter, the last Friday before Christmas is taken as the reference date. To determine inflow or outflow, the population in a quarter is compared with the population in the same quarter one year earlier. If the employee was not working in care and welfare on one of the two reference dates and was on the other, there is mobility. As a result, employees who do not work every month in care and welfare, such as employees with a flexible employment relationship or employees with a zero-hour contract, are more often regarded as mobile. The figures are classified according to the Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SBI 2008) of Statistics Netherlands and broken down into AZW branches, country, part of the country, province and RegioPlus labor market regions. The calculations relate to employees' main jobs. The municipality of residence of the employee is used to determine the region. The AZW branches are determined on the basis of the main activity (SBI code) of the company where an employee works. This may not be the only activity a company engages in. The main activity 'Other social advice, community centers and cooperative bodies in the field of welfare' (SBI code: 88999) also takes into account the collective labor agreement under which the employee works. Employees who fall under Collective Labor Agreement codes 0004 to 0300 or Collective Labor Agreement codes 0302 to 8102 are classified under the 'Other Care and Welfare' sector. The employees who fall under a different CAO code are classified under 'Social Work (Other)'. A complete overview of all Collective Labor Agreement codes can be found in section 3. This table presents figures on flows on the labor market for the narrow care and welfare sectors. This means that figures on flows on the labor market for the care and welfare sectors are broadly not included (for a reference to these figures, see section 3). The narrow labor market for care and welfare means that the childcare sector is not included. As a result, the figures on flows in the care and welfare labor market narrowly relate to a different population than figures on care and welfare broadly. Figures on different populations are not published in the same table. The figures on the labor market in care and welfare are presented in their own table. This table was developed in the context of the Labor Market Care and Welfare (AZW) research programme.

Data available from: First quarter 2010 Status of the figures: All figures are provisional. Changes as of August 22, 2023: The table has been supplemented with figures for the 1st quarter of 2023. Earlier figures have been adjusted due to the use of new, more recent sources. Changes as of May 23, 2023: The table has been supplemented with figures for the 4th quarter of 2022. Earlier figures have been adjusted due to the use of new, more recent sources. Changes as of March 7, 2023: Due to an incorrect determination of the main job of labor mobile employees, a discrepancy has arisen in the development of employment as it can be calculated on the basis of labor mobility, and as it can be calculated on the basis of the comparison of numbers of employees. The bug has been fixed in this version of the table. Changes as of February 21, 2023: The table has been supplemented with figures for the 3rd quarter of 2022. Earlier figures have been adjusted due to the use of new, more recent sources. Improvements have been made in making employee jobs longitudinally consistent. As a result, job changes may no longer be regarded as such and/or separate jobs may be merged into one job. This improvement has an effect on the figures on labor mobility. Figures for previous years have also been (minimally) adjusted. Changes as of 17 November 2022: The table has been supplemented with figures for the 2nd quarter of 2022. Earlier figures have been adjusted due to the use of new, more recent sources. As of September 1, 2022, the RegioPlus-Arbeidsmarktregio Rijnstreek has changed its name: the new name is “Rijn Gouwe”. This name change has been put back in time in this table (Q1 2010). When will new numbers come out? This table is supplemented every quarter with new figures.
