Statbel, the Belgian statistical office, publishes today the transitions on the labour market for 2019-2020.
The longitudinal nature of the Labour Force Survey makes it possible to measure the dynamics on the labour market. For example, is someone who is employed at a given time still employed a year later, or has this person become unemployed?
The transitions between 2019 and 2020 reflect the first impact of the coronavirus crisis.
We note that:
- Fewer unemployed people found a job in 2020;
- A little more employed people became inactive;
- More people remained inactive.
