The International Labour Organization(ilo) report
The time-related underemployment rate is a measure of labour underutilization that provides information regarding the share of employed persons who are willing and available to increase their working time (for production within the SNA production boundary) and who worked fewer hours than a specified time threshold during the reference period. It signals inadequate employment (ICLS, 2008).
