Employment to population ratio, ages 15+ (%, national estimate)
Employment to population ratio for the 8-country panel (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, India): the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is employed, in percent (national estimate). The World Bank publishes the indicator in the World Development Indicators from the ILO Labour Force Statistics database (ILOSTAT), accessed 2026-06-22; WDI vintage last updated 2026-07-13. It is the employment-side complement to the connector's unemployment datasets: the ratio captures job-holding directly rather than through the labor-force denominator, so it falls both when unemployment rises and when participation drops. Canada tops the panel in every fixture year (62.24% in 2023); China's 2021-2023 cells are null upstream (genuine reporting gap, kept verbatim, never interpolated). Caveat: national-estimate methodology means employment definitions differ by country, so cross-country levels are not fully comparable. Units: % of population ages 15+.
