Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the adult labour-force participation rate, we need to add the number of employed and unemployed individuals and divide it by the total number of individuals aged 15 and over, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. For males, the calculation would be (25,000 + 10,000) / 60,000 * 100 = 58.33%. For females, the calculation would be (7,500 + 2,500) / 20,000 * 100 = 50%. To get the overall adult labour-force participation rate, we can average these two percentages (58.33% + 50%) / 2 = 54.17%, which is closest to choice D (66.67%). Note that the answer choices provided are all significantly off from the correct answer, which may indicate an error in the table or in the question.
