total labour input

The total labour input corresponds to the total hours worked divided by the average annual number of hours worked in full-time jobs within the economic territory. Full-time work should be based on the definition used in Eurostat's Farm Structure Survey (FSS) and is typically 1800 hours per year, if no specific national provisions are detailed. One person cannot represent more than one AWU. This constraint holds even if someone is working in the agricultural industry for more than the number of hours defining full time. The agricultural labour input of persons who work less than full time on agricultural holdings is calculated as the quotient of the number of hours actually worked (per week or per year) and the number of hours actually worked (per week or per year) in a full-time job. Total hours worked do not cover work for the private household of the holder or manager.
