Activity rate
As an economic indicator, the employment rate describes the proportion of the labor force ( employed plus unemployed ) in the population in the same age range, often but not always in relation to the 15 to 64 year olds. It differs from the employment rate ( employment rate ), which only records people who have work.
Depending on the reference population, a distinction is made between:
- Gross employment rate: proportion of the labor force in relation to the total resident population .
- Standardized employment rate: Proportion of the labor force in the resident population from a certain minimum age (usually 15 years).
- Net employment rate: Proportion of the labor force in the resident population of working age (usually 15 years to the statutory retirement age).
