The dynamics of dependent employment and unemployment: A comparison of different data sources

The dynamics of dependent employment and unemployment can only be adequately analysed using individual flow data. The degree of influence of the data set and the methodology used is shown by analysing 11 member states of the European Union on the basis of data from the European Labour Force Survey (ELFS) and the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). In addition to the analysis of flows and their counterflows, new labour market indicators are introduced: the dependent employment (growth) indicator, the general mobility rate, the (re)integration indicator and the (un)employment mobility rate.
