This snapshot presents global and regional trends along with the most recent country-level figures, based on the latest statistical standards and definitions adopted at the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) (ILO, 2013), as well as the previous standards from the 13th ICLS (ILO, 1982). In some cases, such as for high-income countries, these statistics may be identical. For more details, refer to the relevant databases and their descriptions.
Quick definition: The labour force participation rate is the share of persons who are in the labour force as a percent of the working-age population. The labour force is the sum of all persons of working age who are employed and those who are unemployed.
