Answer:
The percentage of the population that is actively participating in the labor market, whether working or looking for a job, is 95% of the total working age population.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of unemployed in a country is 19 million people, and that number represents an unemployment rate of 4%, to know the total number of economically active people in the country we must perform the following calculation:
(19,000,000 / 4) x 100 = X
475,000,000 = economically active population
However, the country has a working-age population of 500 million people, of which only 475 are actively participating in the labor market. To know the percentage that these 475 million people represent, we must perform the following cross multiplication:
500 = 100
475 = X
(475 x 100) / 500 = X
95 = X
The percentage of the population that is actively participating in the labor market, whether working or looking for a job, is 95% of the total working age population.
