Labour force projections

The labor force projection is based on an extrapolation of age- and gender-specific labor force participation rates by five-year age groups. Multiplied by the main variant of the current population forecast, this yields the projected labor force figures. The underlying labor force participation rates are based on the ILO concept (ILO: International Labor Organization) and thus include all persons who work at least one hour a week for pay or as self-employed persons or family workers, or who are unemployed. Persons undertaking military and civilian service are also considered to be gainfully employed. At the Austrian level, the employment rates have been derived from the annual averages of the labor force according to the labor force survey since 2004. The Register-based Labour Market Statistics are used to estimate the labor force in institutional households. Disaggregation by federal province is based on regional differences in labor force participation rates according to the Register-based Labour Market Statistics.

S: STATISTICS AUSTRIA, Labour force projection 2022. Created on December 20 2022. - In 2022, there was an error in the age distribution parameter used for immigration in the population projection. This had an impact on the forecast age structure of the population and, as a result, also on the projection of the total population. As the labour force projection uses the population projection as an input, the results of the labour force projection were also affected. The error was corrected on December 20th 2022.
