操作定義
The proportion of underemployed persons in the labour force. The criteria for an employed person to be classified as underemployed are: involuntarily working less than 35 hours during the seven days before enumeration; and either (a) has been available for additional work during the seven days before enumeration; or (b) has sought additional work during the thirty days before enumeration. Working short hours is considered as involuntary if it is due to slack work, material shortage, mechanical breakdown and inability to find a full-time job.
