Unemployed persons / Longitudinal analysis of labour market subsidy data
The report shows the number of recipients of labour market subsidy and of integration assistance for immigrants at the end of the month/year and the average number of recipients over the year.
Recipients at the end of the month include persons in receipt of unemployment benefit with a non-zero value which is dated to the last working day of the month and paid out sometime during the following three months. For example, this includes persons whose unemployment benefit is dated to the last day of December and paid out by the end of March of the following year.
The cumulative number of labour market subsidy days represents the number of days for which the recipient has been paid labour market subsidy on account of unemployment as of the cut-off date for the statistics. The cumulative count is restarted if the recipient satisfies specific conditions regarding the terms of employment.
Benefits are divided into main categories according to the basis of eligibility, i.e., into unemployment benefits and benefits paid during participation in employment promoting service.
Data available starting from 2014.
Updated monthly, with data being collected about four months retrospectively. End-of-year data updated in April.
