Question 2:
Labour Force Participation Rate= (employed+ unemployed)/population eligible to work
Eligible population=160-40 =120 million.
Employed =120×70%=84 million
Unemployed= 6 million
Labour force participation rate=
Question 3.
2018
1.25=425×100/ Real GDP
Real GDP= 42500/1.25=34000
2019
1.28=448×100/REAL GDP
Real GDP=44800/1.28=35000
Percentage change in real GDP is
Question 4.
