Students in work-study programmes are considered to be both in education and employed, irrespective of their labour market status according to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition. 2. Individuals who were, during the survey reference week, without work, actively seeking employment and currently available to start work. 3. Individuals who were not working and who were not unemployed; i.e., individuals who were not looking for a job. 4. Those who, during the survey reference week: worked for pay (employees) or profit (self-employed and unpaid family workers) for at least one hour; or had a job but were temporarily not at work (through injury, illness, holiday, strike or lock-out, educational or training leave, maternity or parental leave, etc.) 5. Reflects those who were "unemployed" or "not in the labour force." In the Labour Force Survey (LFS), those individuals who are, during the survey reference week, without work, actively seeking employment and currently available to start work are categorized as unemployed. Individuals who are not working and who are not unemployed (individuals who are not looking for a job) are categorized as "not in the labour force." 6. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators, Table C5.2a, Percentage of 15-29 year-olds in education and not in education, by 5-year age group and work status (2010), Table C5.2b (Web only) Percentage of 15-29 year-old young men in education and not in education (2010) and Table C5.2c. (Web only) Percentage of 15-29 year-old young women in education and not in education (2010), which present the most recent available data for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's member countries for which data were available or could be estimated. Please see the OECD Web site. 7. Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using the results of the LFS in the provinces; the territories are not included. Notes: Estimates for small geographic areas, for small groups, or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability. Due to rounding, sub-totals and totals may not match the sum of the individual values.
