Persons Not in the Labour Force, Australia, September 2009

Persons not in the labour force are people who are neither employed nor unemployed in a particular reference period.

The Persons Not in the Labour Force Survey collects a range of information about people not in the labour force, including the reasons why they were not actively looking for work or were not available for work, their main activity while not in the labour force, whether they have worked previously and if so, time since their last job, occupation in their last job and the reasons for ceasing their last job.

Estimates can be cross-classified by labour force demographics such as state, sex, marital status and birthplace.
