Explanation

The Labour Force Participation Rate is calculated by expressing the number of persons in the labour force as a percentage of the working-age population. The labour force is the sum of the number of persons employed and the number of persons unemployed. Thus, the measurement of the Labour Force Participation Rate requires the measurement of both employment and unemployment.

The Work Participation Rate (WPR) is defined as the percentage of total workers to the total population.

The worker Population Ratio is defined as number of persons per 1000 persons.
