[The working population: a statistical category that is hard to define]
Abstract:
The author examines some of the definitions that have been used to define the working population in France. "The working population resulting from censuses and related statistical sources is based on individuals' spontaneous statements. Its content does not match up exactly with the working population defined by the ILO, which seeks to estimate the labour force available for production. Therefore, certain categories such as ¿discouraged male job-seekers' (160,000 in March 1995), ¿revealed female job-seekers' (housewives who would prefer to work) (130,000) and ¿trainees' (120,000) are considered by the census definition to be in the working population, but are deemed unoccupied by the ILO definition." The author stresses the need to clarify and limit the statistical categories used, so that better forecasts of the future working population can be prepared and the prospects for drawing international comparisons and conducting behavioral analyses can be increased.
