In addition to the unemployed according to the international definition, other groups can be identified that are potentially available to the labour market. Thus, there are the groups of the "labour reserve" (not available or available). These are economically inactive persons (neither employed nor unemployed) aged 15 and 74 years who are looking for work but are not available in the short term (labour reserve, seeking but not available) and persons who could start working in the short term but have not looked for work even though they would like to (labour reserve, available but not seeking).
Persons in the labour reserve can be described according to gender, age, education, nationality, age of the youngest child and federal province. In addtition, a time series is available. The results come from the Microcensus Labour Force Survey (sample survey).
