How this figure is calculated
Labor force, total divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Labor force, total Γ· Population, total
Computed from
- Labor force, total International Labour Organization (ILO), type: estimates based on external database
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
