The number of unemployed persons, according to the ILO definition, is established once a year on the basis of the labour force survey conducted by the INSEE; for the intermediary months, rates are estimated on a parametric model based on the evolution of the number of persons seeking employment registered with the ANPE. in categories 1, 2 and 3.
The economically active population is the sum of: total employment and unemployment.
The population census is the basis of the evaluation of total employment, the labour force survey and other sources allow an annual re-evaluation.
