Abstract

This paper presents the steps of the building of PAC (Active available population), PEMP (Population in employment) and TCHO (Unemployment rate) time series along the period 1959–2021 in order to complete those produced by INSEE along the period 1975–2021. Most of the annual macroeconomic INSEE’s data describe the period 1959–2020. So it seems relevant to complete the labor market INSEE’s time series (1975–2020). Our work was based on INSEE’s data which had various degrees of revision. In a first step, we used some rare overseas department data (1954 to 1974) and some data of France metropolitan (1987 and 1994) that we combined with those published in 2020. In a second step, we updated them thanks an other econometric adjustement with the last INSEE’s data published in 2022. During the discussion, we recalled the dilemma that INSEE systematically encounters, namely the dilemma Data quality/quick delivery. Finally, we proposed some assessement’s criteria of our results, based on econometric adjustement and a “confidential interval” that we built.
