About this series

Unemployment rate (%) (IMF WEO, LUR). DataMapper does not flag projections — years above the WEO “actual” cap are dropped (from October: calendar year − 1; before October: year − 2), so the chart shows no forecasts.

Indicator definition

Unemployed people as a share of the labour force under national definitions reported to the IMF. Compare with Unemployment (World Bank, ILO) and Unemployment (Eurostat).

How to read the data

National definitions differ, so cross-country comparisons are approximate; changes over time are more reliable.
