* Labour force: This term covers all economically active persons in the age from 15 to 64 plus those persons at the age of 10 to 15 and over 64 for whom an economic activity was reported. It includes the armed forces and the unemployed but excludes groups deemed economically inactive such as students, housewives, care-givers and others who are constitutionally excluded from economic activities. (For further definition, see ILO, Labour Force Estimates and Projections 1950-2000, Geneva 1986.)
