Correct Answer Explanation
Worker-population ratio is an indicator used for analysing the employment situation in the country. It shows the proportion of population actively contributing to production.
Key Points:
- If the ratio is higher, engagement of people in economic activities is greater.
- If low, a high proportion of population is not involved in economic activities.
- Calculated by dividing total workers by population and multiplying by 100.
- For India (2022-23), about 41 out of every 100 persons are workers.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- A: GDP growth is measured differently.
- C: Inflation rate uses price indices.
- D: Population growth uses census data.
