How do we define “labour force”, “employed population” and “unemployed population”?

Labour force refers to individuals aged 16 and above who are available to participate in the production of goods or services during the reference period. It comprises the employed and the unemployed.

Employed population refers to individuals aged 16 and above who work for pay, profit or family gain for at least 1 hour during the reference period, including employees who are absent from work but have formal job attachment to employer, as well as company owners or shareholders who are temporary away from work because of particular reason.

Unemployed population refers to individuals aged 16 and above who do not have a job or formal job attachment during the reference period, are available to work for pay or to start own business, and have sought work during the last 30 days. Moreover, individuals are also included in the unemployed population when they maintain no formal job attachment to an employer and are seeking work, but are not able to work temporarily due to sickness or pregnancy.
