Question

Here is a report from a not very efficient survey taker; “There are 65 people in the houses I visited, 10 of them children under 16 and 10 retired; 25 people had full-time jobs and 5 had part time jobs. There were 5 full-time homemakers, 5 full-time students over age 16 and 2 people who were disabled and cannot work. The remaining people did not have jobs but all said they would like one. One of these people had not looked for work for 3 months, however.” Calculate: (viii) The employment to population ratio

Explanation / Answer

Total population = Number of people in the house = 65

Number employed = People with full time jobs + People with part time jobs = 25 + 5 = 30

Employment-Population ratio = Number employed / Total population = 30 / 65 = 0.4615 = 46.15%
