WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30th JUNE 2009
Question
Given the difficulties in accurately keeping track of unemployment trends will the Minister be revising the way in which such statistics are collected and, if so, how?
Answer
As indicated in response to Question 4587 (16th June 2009) and as previously stated by the Chief Minister in response to Question 4555 (2nd June 2009), the Social Security Department is currently working closely with the Statistics Unit to produce a monthly publication on registered unemployment in the Island.
Current statistics on individuals who are registered as unemployed and actively seeking work include details of gender, age and duration of actively seeking work status. Reports are published monthly in the employment section of the Social Security website. The April report can be found at the following web address:
