Publication status Provisional: Q2 2026. Later releases may revise these figures.
- Missing observations remain gaps. Values are shown as published.
- no comparable previous period in the selection
- Coverage 2025'As from the first quarter 2025, labour force, employment and unemployment estimates are published based on population figures revised according to the 2022 population census results' (the Year 2025 release). Every quarter served here is on that basis.
- Discrepancy 2025Apprentices are defined two ways. The 1st Quarter 2026 release (Annex 2) and the CMPHS methodology: 'An Apprentice is a person being trained for a job or trade and is paid.' The Year 2025 release: 'An Apprentice is a person being trained for a job or trade and does not receive pay or may just receive some pocket money; a paid apprentice is considered as an employee.' Table 1 prints no column for apprentices and does not say under which status they are counted.
- Coverage 2025Republic of Mauritius: 'All private Mauritian households in the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues are covered' (Annex 1). The estimates 'refer to the Mauritian population aged 16 years and above' (paragraph 1), so foreign workers are not included: the release adds them only in its annual estimates (Annex 3), which are not loaded. The release does not name Agalega or St Brandon.
- Coverage 2025Sample estimates from the Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Survey (CMPHS), 'subject to sample variability' (paragraph 20). The release publishes standard errors (SE) and coefficients of variation (CV = SE/estimate) for its main estimates, graded high reliability below 7.5%, medium 7.5-15.0% and low above 15.0%. MorisLens loads no standard error or coefficient of variation: see the release.
