Economically active population
Explanation:
Economically active population includes persons who do not participate in production but who have unearned income. So any person who earns a living is considered an economically active population. The percentage of the economically active population is a function of the proportion of working-age persons in the total population and of the extent of their employment.
The functions of economically active population are as follows:
- Earn income through direct or indirect means in production or pensions.
- Support others in the family.
- Contribute to national GDP and not be a drag on the GDP.
The percentage of the economically active population is considerably larger in socialist and developed capitalist countries than in developing countries.
