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 As from January 2006 the LFS was revised. To improve the comparability for the figures between 1st quarter 2006 and 1st quarter 2005, figures for 1st quarter 2006 are published according to both the revised and the unrevised LFS regarding to the main changes, i.e. the changes concerning age limit, the definition of age and the classification of persons on lay-off.

3 For the definition of part-time employment, see table 6.

4 The term employed here includes full-time employed persons, as well as part-time workers who consider the employment as their main activity.
