Catalog of Indica<strong>to</strong>rs Work/Labor 101 Name of indica<strong>to</strong>r: Employment <strong>to</strong> population ratio (ETPR)Definition: Percentage of persons employed <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal persons in the labor <strong>for</strong>ce, measures the proportion of the country's working-­‐age population that is employed. It is typically disaggregated by sex and by age group. This percentage is only <strong>for</strong> people in age working, usually 15 -­‐ 64 years. Description: The employment-­‐<strong>to</strong>-­‐population ratio provides in<strong>for</strong>mation on the ability of an economy <strong>to</strong> create employment. Employment-­‐<strong>to</strong>-­‐population ratios are of particular interest when broken down by sex, as they can provide in<strong>for</strong>mation on gender differences in labor market activity in a given country. For policy purposes, employment-­‐<strong>to</strong>-­‐population ratios of youth and old are particular relevant.

Employment <strong>to</strong> population ratio is calculated by number of working people divided by <strong>to</strong>tal population of one country in a specific year. The working <strong>for</strong>ce and population only include individuals, whithin the working age (15-­‐ 64 ages). The study of this indica<strong>to</strong>r is by age and sex, and taking in<strong>to</strong> account the variable educational. In general, a high ratio is considered <strong>to</strong> be above 70 percent of the working-­‐age population whereas a ratio below 50 percent is considered <strong>to</strong> be low. In <strong>for</strong>mula: ETPR= Employment <strong>to</strong> population ratio; WP(15-­‐64)= age working population (15-­‐ 64 ages) that is working; TWP(15-­‐64)= <strong>to</strong>tal age working population (15-­‐64). For Women: WETPR: Women employment <strong>to</strong> population ratio= WW (15 -­‐ 64)
