How this figure is calculated
Labor force, total divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Labor force, total ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Labor force, total International Labour Organization (ILO), type: estimates based on external database
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
