2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1labour force Explanation: In Canada, the term is labour force. I checked on a UK gov't site and they appear to use the same term - perhaps looking here: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ssd/surveys/labour_force_survey... will give you an answer as to the meaning of "engagée" (I'm stumped!) |

4 hrs confidence:
total active population / economically active population Explanation: http://www.ess.gov.si/eng/AnnaulReport/lp01/epogl3.htm At the end of 2001 Slovenia's total active population numbered 886,378 people, of whom 782,062 were economically active. On average the active population numbered 880,897, of whom 779,041 were economically active. In comparison with December 2000 the active population grew by 1.5%; at 1.8% the increase in the number of economically active people was higher than the increase in the overall active population. In comparison with 2000 the average number of economically active people grew by 0.7% in 2001, while the increase in the number of economically active people was double that number, i.e. 1.4%. During the year the number of economically active people either grew or remained the same for the first ten months of the year, and then fell in November and December. See also (for definitions): http://laborsta.ilo.org/applv8/data/c1e.html The data presented in Chapter 1, Tables 1A and 1B of the Yearbook on the total and economically active population, have generally been drawn from the latest Population Census, indicated by the code (A) or Labour force sample survey, indicated by the code (BA), |

peer agreement (net): -1working-age population vs. economically-active population Explanation: I agree entirely with your suggestion, Victoria. Cobbling ideas together from the three glossaries below, I think this is probably the neatest way of expressing it accurately. http://74.125.39.104/search?q=cache:Z24-I3JZ9eIJ:www.cabinet... http://www.almanar.jo/AlManarWeb/Default.aspx?tabid=103 http://hdr.undp.org/en/humandev/glossary/ |
