Definition & method

ILO Modelled Estimates database (ILOEST), International Labour Organization (ILO), uri: https://ilostat.ilo.org/data/bulk/, publisher: ILOSTAT, type: external database, date accessed: January 17, 2026

Labor force participation rate is the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is economically active: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period.

What to keep in mind

  • Modelled ILO estimates for both sexes ages 15+. Estimates differ from national survey series.
  • Annual 2000–2025 selection; unavailable values remain missing.
  • The ILO modelled series includes unlabelled imputed observations with high uncertainty. Country comparisons and rankings are disabled; same-country comparisons retain this caution.
