Ping @FlorianLeblancDr, please double-check whether the description of "Not Active" should be changed to be in line with ILO definitions.
Hi Daniel, Sorry for the long delay. Thanks for checking, indeed Inactive does not only means not being at the age of working according to the ILO.
I made some edits.
I will see later if those definitions are robust to several definitions of unemployment (more for tier 2 / 3 var.)
Thanks @FlorianLeblancDr - just to be clear, you wrote "I made some edits", but it's not clear to me where you made them?
@danielhuppmann Directly on Github here: https://github.com/IAMconsortium/common-definitions/pull/94/files File labor-force.yaml
Edit: I did not click on 'submit review' sorry for this.
Thanks @FlorianLeblancDr, there was some formatting mix-up in your suggestions, so I revised them a bit further. Please approve if this is ready to be merged (a.k.a. good enough for now).
All good to me, thanks for the edits @danielhuppmann
As a follow-up to #57, this PR renames the Employment/Unemployment variables from the population-category to a new top-level category "Labor Force".
@IAMconsortium/common-definitions-macro-economy, looking at the description of the variables introduce in #57, it said that "Not Active" are people outside of the working-age range. However, this definition states that "Outside the Labor Force" includes all people not actively looking for work, which may include working-age people.
Please clarify or make your categorization complete by adding a category for inactive people of working age.
