Evolution of the annual average number of unemployed jobseekers in the Brussels-Capital Region by Brussels municipality, gender and level of education

‘All basic unemployment statistics are based on the number of unemployed jobseekers (‘DEI’/‘NWWZ’). These are people without paid work who are registered as jobseekers with a public employment service. The definition is in line with the provisions of Eurostat (the EU's statistical office).

In this context, the file of the job seeker registered with Actiris is used as the basis in the Brussels-Capital Region. Administrative unemployment is represented by the situation of all the files at the end of the month, so each time it is a snapshot (and not dynamic data on entries and exits from unemployment).

Unemployed jobseekers are divided into three categories, which are displayed by default in the basic statistics, under the key figures’.
