As an indicator, the employment-to-population ratio provides information on the ability of an economy to create jobs; for many countries it ranks in importance with the unemployment rate. Although a high overall ratio is typically considered “good”, the indicator alone does not provide information on labour market problems such as low earnings, underemployment, poor working conditions, or the existence of a large informal sector. For most economies, the working-age population is defined as persons aged 15 years and older, although this varies slightly from economy to economy. The ILO standard for the lower age limit is, in fact, 15 years
