työlliseen

Työllinen is a Finnish term that translates to "employed" or "person in employment" in English. It refers to an individual who is engaged in paid work, whether on a full-time or part-time basis. In the context of labor statistics and economic analysis, a työllinen is typically defined by their participation in the labor force and their receipt of remuneration for their labor. This remuneration can take various forms, including wages, salaries, commissions, or profits from self-employment.

The concept of työllinen is central to understanding employment rates and labor market dynamics within Finland. Official statistics often categorize individuals as employed, unemployed, or outside the labor force. A työllinen contributes to the economy through their productive activities and consumption. Their employment status is a key indicator of economic health and social well-being. Factors such as industry, occupation, and contract type can further differentiate the status of a työllinen.

The definition and measurement of who qualifies as a työllinen can vary slightly depending on the specific survey or statistical agency conducting the count, though generally accepted international standards are followed. This ensures comparability and reliability of data related to the Finnish labor market. The aim is to accurately capture the number of people actively contributing to the economy through work.
