- QUOTE:The employment-to-population ratio is defined as the proportion of an economy’s working-age population that is employed. ... As an indicator, the employment-to-population ratio provides information on the ability of an economy to create jobs; for many countries it ranks in importance with the unemployment rate. Although a high overall ratio is typically considered “good”, the indicator alone does not provide information on labour market problems such as low earnings, underemployment, poor working conditions, or the existence of a large informal sector. For most economies, the working-age population is defined as persons aged 15 years and older, although this varies slightly from economy to economy. The ILO standard for the lower age limit is, in fact, 15 years

- QUOTE:The working-age population refers to individuals above the age of compulsory education and below the official retirement age. Most often this includes men aged 15-59 and women aged 15-54 in the countries of the region. However, this standardized definition may differ from the current definitions of “working age” in some countries due to a gradual increase in the retirement age for both genders.
