"- The article discusses the difference between the unemployment rate measured by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the number of job seekers registered with Pôle emploi (French public employment service).
- According to the ILO, a person is considered unemployed if they meet specific criteria, including being without a job during a specific week, actively seeking employment in the past four weeks, and being available for work in the next two weeks.
- The ILO definition of unemployment is independent of Pôle emploi registration and is measured through surveys conducted by INSEE (French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies) with a representative sample of 70,000 households.
- Pôle emploi counts job seekers registered with their services, and changes in rules can affect the number of registered job seekers.
- The study shows that about one in five ILO-defined unemployed individuals are not registered with Pôle emploi, while two in five registered job seekers are not classified as ILO-defined unemployed.
- INSEE complements the unemployment rate with statistics on underemployment and the "halo" around unemployment to capture situations between employment, unemployment, and inactivity.
- The ILO definition of unemployment allows for stable and comparable measurements across countries and over time.
- The ILO unemployment rate is based on self-reported information gathered from detailed surveys conducted with 100,000 individuals each quarter.
- The collection of statistics relies on the work of INSEE field investigators and the sincere participation of households contributing to the general interest.
- The article expresses gratitude to the citizens who contribute their time to the INSEE employment survey."
