Deutsche Bundesbank — Labour Market and Population of foreign countries (BBXL3)

DatasetExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇩🇪Germany

This dataset provides official time series on labour market indicators and population statistics for foreign countries, published by the Deutsche Bundesbank under the BBXL3 dataflow. Data is distributed via SDMX 2.1 REST, with a single endpoint serving XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats. Users can extract specific series using a key path along with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters, allowing targeted retrieval of relevant subsets rather than full downloads. The dataset supports economic and labour-market analysis with an international comparative dimension, complementing the Bundesbank's broader national statistical offerings.Labour Market and Population of foreign countries (BBXL3) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBXL3 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
