Adjustments are made to LFS data every five years after new population estimates become available following the most recent census. At that time, all LFS data back to the previous census is re-weighted using the new population estimates (since the new population estimates will cover the inter-censal period between the two most recent censuses), and all corresponding historical LFS estimates are revised. At the beginning of 2015, all estimates were adjusted to reflect 2011 Census population counts and LFS estimates have been revised back to January 2001. Since the 2000 data is unavailable, we have included the 2002 data for comparability purposes (as was reported in Education at a Glance 2014). Return to note 1 referrer Note 2.

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 labour force." Return to note 2 referrer Note 3. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2015: OECD Indicators, Table C5.2b (web only) Trends in the percentage of young people in education/not in education, employed or not, by age group and gender (2002, 2005, 2010 and 2014), which presents 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.

Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using the results of the LFS in the provinces; the territories are not included. Return to note 4 referrer Note: 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.
