* 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.) |
