About these comparisons

Figures are official national statistics — Geostat (Georgia), Armstat (Armenia), the State Statistical Committee of Azerbaijan — and Eurostat for the EU-27, using the latest published period. Georgia (since 2020, with 2010–2019 recalculated) and Armenia (since 2018) apply the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians standard, under which subsistence food producers are not counted as employed. Azerbaijan's national methodology may differ. Indicators are compared only where comparable official data exist. Data checked October 2026.
