9 ANNEX TEX:HNCAL NOTE CONCER!l!NO FGURES Olo' RDSTr.:RED UNEMPLOYMl:NT AND VACANCES 'l'hio Statistical Telegram is based on mtional data on numbers of persons registered at public employment offices. 'l'he inforruation i~ obtained by reeular transmisoion to the Statistical Office of the European Communities. The defini tiona hae b en standardized in o. number of reopeots but complete oomparabili ty is not poosible national lcgislo.tion and adminir.tratie practices are too different. The statistics are therefore useful nainly for studies of trends. Similarly the bases of calculation of the percentages of registered uneo:ployment' in the ciilian workinc population hao bel'n standardized in a number of respects. They are therefore somewhat better suited for comparison of trends t~~n arc unemployment rates calculated nationally on different bases in the arious countries. Howeer, it must be emphasized that the degree of standardization is insufficient to permit reliable comparison either of absolute leels or of rates of unemployment, any such analysis must be made with extreme caution. For,te&i.!!.t.!!.r,lld_u,!le!,Jl,!O:t,msn,!, the following data hae been used F.R. OF GERrAHY t Unemployed according to the definition of the Bundesanstalt fur Arbeit, namely persons without job seeking permanent work for at least 20 hours a week.

These comprise unemployed persons who hae worked before as well as young persons under 2 years and other persons seeking their first job, including those who hae finished their legal military serice and are seeking work. Persons under 65 years, as normally coered by statistics of the Ministerie an Bociale Zaken, who do not hae or no longer hae a job, and are seeking full-time work for 30 hours or more a week. t Persons out of work on register at the Office National de l'emploi, comprising unemployed persons receiing benefit, other persons seeking work who are obliged to register and persons seeking work registered oluntarily., Persons without a job beteen 6 and 65 years seeking full-time work (at least 40 hours per week) proided they are aailable for an employment add registered at the Administration de l'emploi. t Unemployed persons registered for employment at a local employment office or careers office on tho date of the monthly count who on that day hae no job and are capable of and aailable for work for more than 30 hours a week.

DENMARK t Unemployed persons aged from about 6 ye~rs ceekinc work, whether or not they are members of the trade unions' unemployment insurance funds, as counted by Danmarks Statistik. According to agreements reached in the working party of the Statistical Office, the standardized figures in principle do not include short-time work for economic and meteorological reasons, unemployed persons taking part in ocational training schemes and persons for whom work baa been proyided by public initiaties in order to aoid unemployment. n some oases, this may not be the usual national understanding of registered unemployment. Situation at the end of the month means at the last day of the month except tor United Kingdom where they refer to tho second Thursday of the month, reland to the last Friday of the month and Denmark to the Wednesday precedin,:: the last cot'.plete ueek of the month. All rcr;istratiollll during the month are included and the totals shotm grocs that is ui thout deduction of rcc:ictrationo cancelled during tho month. The national data published are absolute figures without seasonal adjustment. For comparison figures tor the corresponding month of the preious year are shown. For the chart, eeasonal adjustment has been done for EUR-9 according to the EUBOSTAT method. ~i~lia~w~r~~~l~tio~ comprises per~or~ in employment and unemployed, excluding araed forces. For calculation of tho percentage of registered unemployed in the ciilian working population, national estimates eta!ldardized accordin& to OE):D defini tiona hae been used. The figures shown are annual aerage or mid-year estimates of the latest common aailable year for all oountries_(i.e. 976). Figures of ~~i,!l~d_~c~n i~a-\relate solely to acancies notified to public employment offices and are not a measure of total ~4oancies. rnployers may be able to recruit workers without necessarily seeking the assistance of public employment officea.
