The participation rate measures the proportion of people aged 15 and older who are part of the labor force, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group. For a specific demographic (such as by age, gender, or marital status), it is calculated by dividing the number of labor force participants in that group by the population of the same group and presenting the result as a percentage. These rates are typically rounded to one decimal place.
