1 As from 2006 the age limit to participate in the LFS was lowered from 16 to 15 years. At the same time the definition of age was changed from completed years at the end of the year to completed years at the time of the reference week. 2 Short part-time = 1-19 working hours. Long part-time = 20-36 working hours, with exception of persons with 32-36 working hours who classify themselves as full-time employed. Full-time = 37 or more working hours, including the exceptions mentioned above. 3 As from January 2006 the LFS was revised, and the figures for 2006 are based on this revised survey. To improve the comparability for the figures between 2nd quarter 2006 and 2nd quarter 2005, figures for 2nd quarter 2006 are published according to both the revised and the unrevised LFS regarding to the main changes.4 Numbers for 1st quarter 2006 have been corrected 16.10.2006.
