In 2017-18, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics announced that of all adult Pakistanis, 59,786,200 were employed, 3,613,800 were unemployed, and 58,800,000 were not in the labor force. Use this information to calculate the adult population.
Suppose that homemakers are included as employed in the labor force statistics, rather than being counted as out of the labor force. This would increase the measured unemployment rate. increase the measured labor force participation rate. decrease the number of persons in the labor force. decrease the number of persons in the working-age population.
The labor-force participation rate measures the percentage of the
a.
total adult population that is in the labor force.
b.
total adult population that is employed.
c.
labor force that is employed.
d.
labor force that is either employed or unemployed.
