Methodological caveats
Employment rate for ages 20-64, as a percentage of the population. This is a different concept from the activity rate and from an absolute count of employed people; neither is shown. Eurostat flags a break in this country's time series for this indicator in 2010, 2011, 2019, 2024: values on either side of a break were not measured the same way, so the change across it is not a like-for-like movement.
