This table contains information about the labor market situation of all young people aged 15 to 27 in the Netherlands who were registered in the Personal Records Database (BRP) on 1 October of the reference year. It is indicated whether young people work, whether they go to school, whether they receive benefits and whether they are registered as a job seeker with the UWV Werkbedrijf. For employed young people, a distinction is made between employees and the self-employed. The data can be broken down into various regional classifications (part of the country, province, COROP, labor market region and municipality). The total number of young people (aged 15 to 27) receiving benefits in this table is higher than in other StatLine tables on social security. This is because the number of benefits is counted over the entire month instead of the situation being presented on the last Friday of the month. This table also includes all social security benefits related to incapacity for work, illness, unemployment or social assistance benefits. The reporting period is the month of October of the reference year. Whether someone goes to school is determined on the basis of registration in government-funded education on 1 October of the reference year. The municipalities are classified according to the situation on 1 January 2020. Data available from 2005 up to and including 2019. Data on whether or not you are registered as a jobseeker with the UWV Werkbedrijf are available from 2018. Predecessors of this table used data from the UWV Werkbedrijf (formerly CWI). Because this source was not continued in 2019, a switch was made to Registered Job Seekers UWV (GWU). However, these data are not available for the years 2005-2017. The figures relate to the situation in October of the year in question. Status of the figures: The figures for the years 2005 to 2018 in this table are final. The figures for 2019 are provisional. Changes as of March 24, 2022: None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of March 4, 2021: None, this is a new table. Compared to the predecessor of this table (see paragraph 3), the way in which registered job seekers are determined has changed. Unfortunately, for the years 2005-2017 it is no longer possible to make a breakdown according to whether or not registered jobseekers with the UWV. Moreover, the figure for 2018 differs slightly from the predecessor due to the use of this new source (see section 3). When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore. This table is followed by: Labor market situation for young people (15 to 27 years); region (2021 format). See section 3.
