Jean-Paul Courtheoux : The notion of activity according to statistical custom.
A study of the usual criteria of activity, of situations of uncertain activity and of levels of activity. The criteria of activity are, to be precise, the 1) intentional, 2) integrated, 3) professional, and 4) payment nature of the activity. Situations of uncertain activity occur in the case of limited, beginning, interrupted, contested, and falsified activity. The levels of activity, according to the French statistical custom make it possible to distinguish clearly between the working active population, the active population properly speaking, the available active population, the marginal active population and the maximal active population. The conclusion deals with the question of international normalisation of the definitions of activity and with the problem of the evolution of fundamental research about the size and the factors of activity. Thus it is owing to a restitutional factor that economy compensates for the loss of active population by recruiting new categories of active people. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
