Netherlands unemployment rate, 2022-2024: CBS (national LFS survey) vs World Bank modeled ILO
estimate.

**CBS Netherlands** — table `85264NED` ("Arbeidsdeelname; kerncijfers"), field
`Werkloosheidspercentage_21`, filtered to totals (`Geslacht=T001038`, `Leeftijd=52052`,
`HoogstBehaaldOnderwijsniveau=T001143`), annual periods (`YYYYJJ00`):
`GET https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataApi/odata/85264NED/TypedDataSet?$filter=Geslacht eq 'T001038' and Leeftijd eq '52052' and HoogstBehaaldOnderwijsniveau eq 'T001143'`,
retrieved 2026-10-29T03:45Z.
- 2022: 3.5%
- 2023: 3.6%
- 2024: 3.7%

**World Bank** — indicator `SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS` ("Unemployment, total (% of total labor force)
(modeled ILO estimate)"), country `NLD`:
`GET https://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/NLD/indicator/SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS?format=json&date=2020:2024`,
retrieved 2026-10-29T03:44Z.
- 2022: 3.526%
- 2023: 3.535%
- 2024: 3.700%

**Gap:** 2022: 0.026pp; 2023: 0.065pp; 2024: 0.0pp (exact match). The gap is already small and
closes to zero by the most recent year.

**Definitional reason:** World Bank's indicator metadata
(`GET https://api.worldbank.org/v2/indicator/SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS?format=json`) documents
`sourceOrganization: "ILO Modelled Estimates database (ILOEST), International Labour
Organization (ILO)..."` — i.e. the World Bank figure is explicitly a modeled estimate, not a
direct pull of the Dutch LFS survey CBS publishes. That documented difference (modeled vs.
direct-survey) is the stated reason for any gap at all; no documented reason was found for why
the 2024 gap in particular closes to exactly zero.
