Työllistetyt

Työllistetyt refers to the employed population in Finland. It encompasses all individuals who are engaged in paid work, whether on a full-time or part-time basis. This category includes those who are working for an employer, self-employed individuals, and those working in family businesses.

The statistical definition of työllistetyt is typically based on the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines. Individuals are considered employed if they have worked for at least one hour for pay or profit during the reference week, or if they are temporarily absent from work due to reasons such as illness, vacation, or parental leave, but have a clear intention of returning to their job.

Official statistics on työllistetyt are collected and published by Statistics Finland. These figures are crucial for understanding the state of the Finnish labor market, economic activity, and social welfare. Changes in the number of työllistetyt can indicate economic growth or recession, shifts in employment trends, and the effectiveness of labor market policies.

The employment rate, which is derived from the number of työllistetyt, is a key indicator used in economic analysis and policy-making. It reflects the proportion of the working-age population that is employed. Analyzing trends in employment across different sectors, age groups, and genders provides valuable insights into the structure and dynamics of the Finnish economy.
