Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The working-age population is the total number of people aged 15 years and over, while the labour force is the number of people either employed or unemployed. Therefore, option B (working-age population; labour force) is the correct choice which clearly identifies each term. The other options are incorrect because they either interchange the terms (option C) or refer to a related concept (option A refers to the percentage of working-age people who are either employed or actively seeking employment) or mix up the terms (option D).
