Comments
Only new jobs actually created should be counted, which excludes jobs maintained. It relates to employment when the project is up and running, i.e. if the project is creation of a farm shop, it does not include employment created during the design/construction phase – consultant/architect/builders, but the employment, which is created when the shop is running (manager, sales assistants, etc.).
Voluntary work should not be counted but self-employment is included. The indicator is calculated in FTE; therefore, in an existing halftime job is transformed into a fulltime job, the value of the indicator is 0.5. When this information is not available (for CIS-YF) the farmer is accounted as 1 FTE.
To count one FTE job created, the duration of the contract should be one year or more (e.g. a six month contract at 100% is 0.5).
This indicator covers jobs created via support from CAP strategic plans, which covers jobs created in the agricultural sector, and non-agricultural employment in rural areas.
