Labour force participation rate

The labour force participation rate is calculated as the labour force during a given reference period expressed as a percentage of the working-age population in the same reference period. The labour force (formerly known as currently active population) comprises all persons of working age who furnish the supply of labour for the production of goods and services (as defined by the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) production boundary) during a specified time-reference period. It is measured in relation to a short reference period such as one week or one day. It refers to the sum of all persons of working age who are employed and those who are unemployed
