The thematic dataset on "Unemployment, Out-of-Work Benefits and the Labour Market" is a compilation of all variables from the Demscore data sources touching upon these topics. With this dataset, researchers and analysts are provided a resource for exploring employment and unemployment rates, in general, as well as in subgroups of the population. In addition to that, the COMPLAB SPIN Out-of-Work benefits dataset, from which many variables in this compiled dataset originate from, allows to delve deep into the social policies regarding unemployment by providing data on net replacement rates across a great number of earnings-levels, and also including various measures capturing the progressivity of income replacement.
As all other thematic datasets, the dataset is easily combinable with other datasets and variables downloaded in the same format.
This dataset includes one observation per country and year. Variables relating to the topic Unemployment and Out-of-Work are merged to country and year identifiers from the Demscore Country-Year Output Unit. Please note that data for some variables in this dataset may have been collected at a different level of analysis.
