The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines the unemployed as members of the economically
active population who are without work but available for and seeking work, including people who have lost
their jobs and those who have voluntarily left work. Some unemployment is unavoidable in all economies.
Unemployment refers to the share of the labor force without work but available for and seeking
employment. Definitions of labor force and unemployment differ by country
