Changes in the Labour Force
The activity rate as the ratio of the labour force in the total population above the age of 15 years
The employment rate as the ratio of the number of workers employed to the total population above the age of 15 years
The unemployment rate as the ratio between the numbers of the unemployed to the total labour force.
As of 497:
The total activity rate was 53.7% (66.5% for men and 41.2% for women).
But this number hides major disparities in age groups. For instance: the activity rate of the age groups 35-39 was as high as 80.5% while for adolescents between the ages of 15-19 it was only 22.7% and for people between the ages 55-59 it was 36.5%.
The total employment rate was 34.4% (44.6% men and 24.4% women).
Again, there were great disparities between age groups. The employment rate for ages 40-44 was 62.6% - while for ages 15-19 it was only 4.4% and for ages 20-24 it was a meager 18.2%.
The total unemployment rate was 36% (33% for men and 40.8% - women).
More than 80.4% of the population aged 15-19 was unemployed, but only 20.2% of 40-44 and only 12% of 55-59.
The total population above the age of 15 at the time of the survey was 1,489,625 (men ? 736,977 and women ? 752,648).
The total number of unemployed was 288,213 (men ? 161,717, women ? 126,496).
The total number of employed people was 512,301 (men ? 328,404 Wholesale Matt Gay Jersey , women ? 183, 896).
Outside the labour force there were 689,112 people (men ? 246,856, women ? 442,256).
To summarize in terms of percentages:
Ages 15-19 ? 11% of the population ? 4.6% of the labour force ? 1.4% of the employed ? 10.3% of the unemployed ? 18.3% of those outside the work force.
Ages 20-24 ? 10.3% - 12.4% - 5.5% - 24.8% - 7.9%
Ages 25-29 ? 9.7% - 13.8% - 10% - 20.7% - 5%
Ages 30-34 ? 9.5% - 13.8% - 13.4% - 14.3% - 4.5%
Ages 35-39 ? 9.8% - 14.7% - 16.8% - 11% - 4.1%
Ages 40-44 ? 9.7% - 14.1% - 17.6% - 7.9% - 4.5%
Ages 45-49 ? 9% - 12% - 15.4% - 6% - 5.5%
Ages 50-54 ? 6.9% - 7.3% - 9.8% - 2.8% - 6.4%
Ages 55-59 ? 6.2% - 4.2% - 5.8% - 1.4% - 8.5%
Ages 60-64 ? 6.7% - 1.8% - 2.6% - 0.4% - 12.4%
Ages 65-69 ? 5.1% - 0.5% - 0.8% - 0% - 10.4%
Ages 70-80 ? 0.4% - 0.3% - 0.3% - 0.2% - 0.6%
In the population above the age of 15 years as a whole, there were c. 104,000 without education, 199,000 with incomplete education Wholesale Anthony Nelson Jersey , 474,000 with primary education, 151,000 with 3 years or less of secondary education, about 369,000 with 4 years of secondary education and c. 55,000 with a higher education. There were 81,100 with university degrees, 2,400 masters Wholesale Mike Edwards Jersey , 1,200 doctorates and 53,400 ?other?.
Yet, the numbers in the labour force were very different and reflected the absolute disadvantage of the uneducated, unskilled, semi skilled and even those with only secondary education.
Those without education were 20,000 in the labour force, 12,000 among the employed, 8 Wholesale Jamel Dean Jersey ,000 among the unemployed (the employed and unemployed make up the labour force) - and a staggering 84,000 outside the workforce altogether.
The respective figures for those with incomplete education:
62,300, 44,200, 18,100, 136,300
For those with primary education (notice the marked improvement in employability!!!):
