Thematic Dataset on Unemployment, Out-of-Work Benefits and the Labour Market

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.
