Proportion of Persons of Concern (working age) who are unemployed The unemployment rate is a standard indicator to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of an economy. For Persons of Concern, access to employment is central for self-reliance, socio-economic inclusion and dignity and often restricted through laws, policies or practical barriers. This indicator is also linked to SGD 8.5.2. The standard questionnaire module is from Standardized Employment Module of UNHCR. The calculations are also done based on the same guidance.
