Unemployment, 1990 - 2001 |
Note: Total
unemployment (Tasa de desocupación total (TDT)). An "unemployed
person" is defined as an individual who is at least 10 years of age
and above, able to work, and economically active, who is not
employed when the survey is conducted, but wishes to be, and who
seeks work.
Data on unemployment are derived from the survey "Indicadores de
Coyuntura del Mercado Laboral Ecuatoriano: Cuenca, Guayaquil y
Quito" (Current labor market indicators: Cuenca, Guayaquil y Quito),
which is conducted by the Pontificia Universidad Católica del
Ecuador (PUCE) every month. The survey is based on a sample of 26880
homes (3840 in Cuenca, 11520 in Guayaquil and 11520 in Quito).
Data are not seasonally adjusted.
