36% of the unemployed in the second quarter 2023 are employed a year later
Labour market transitions between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024
Statbel publishes today the labour market transitions between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024 for the 15-74-year-olds. The data show that 36.2% of unemployed people a year ago made the transition to work, and 36.0% remained unemployed. 27.8% of the unemployed became inactive on the labour market. Furthermore, we observe that 9 out of 10 inactive persons remained inactive on the labour market between the second quarter of 2023 and that of 2024. Most of them were either retired or student, and so were not immediately available on the labour market. Finally, these results also show that people still stay in employment easily: 94.4% of people who were employed last year are still working. Only a small percentage became unemployed or inactive.
