9.4. Labour market situation of young people

(supplementary questionnaire of the Labour Force Survey, Q4, 2015)

A supplementary survey called 'Labour Market Situation of Young People' was linked again to the Labour Force Survey, Q4 2015 which was carried out on the selected sample of households of the basic survey at the same time.

The aim of the survey was the complex examination of the 15–29 years old people in the following three themes:
– work, job search
– studies, qualifications, study-related work
– doing voluntary work

1.7% of the respondents aged 15–29 who answered the basic survey did not answer the supplementary survey Q4 2015.

The non-performance rates (rates of those who answered the basic survey but did not answer the supplementary survey) of the supplementary survey 'Labour market situation of young people', Q4 2015 (weighted data)

There may be some differences between the same aggregates of the published absolute numbers due to weighting and summing up. The evaluation of the distribution ratios was made electronically – without individual correction, so the sum of partial data is not always equal to the displayed rounded value of the aggregated data.

The questionnaire contained the following questions.
