Labour market policy (LMP ) statistics are one of the data sources for monitoring the Employment Guidelines. The guidelines specifically refer to the provision of active labour market policies, which cover LMP measures and LMP services, and adequate social security systems, which include LMP support.

A comprehensive methodology defines the scope of the LMP data collection, the statistical unit and coverage, describes the classification system of LMP interventions, and gives precise guidelines on the data to be provided. This publication presents the LMP Methodology 2018, which incorporates a number of changes approved by the LMP Task Force and Expert Group.
