In 2023, China's labor force amounted to approximately 772.2 million people. The labor force in China indicated a general decreasing trend in recent years. As both the size of the population in working age and the share of the population participating in the labor market are declining, this downward trend will most likely persist in the foreseeable future. A country’s labor force is defined as the total number of employable people and incorporates both the employed and the unemployed population. Population challenges for China One of the reasons for the shrinking labor force is the Chinese one-child policy, which had been in effect for nearly 40 years, until it was revoked in 2016. The controversial policy was intended to improve people’s living standards and optimize resource distribution through controlling the size of China’s expanding population. Nonetheless, the policy also led to negative impacts on the labor market, pension system and other societal aspects. Today, China is becoming an aging society. The increase of elderly people and the lack of young people will become a big challenge for China in this century. Employment in China Despite the slowing down of economic growth, China’s unemployment rate has sustained a relatively low rate. Complete production chains and a well-educated labor force make China’s labor market one of the most attractive in the world. Working conditions and salaries in China have also improved significantly over the past years. Due to China’s leading position in terms of talent in the technology industry, the country is now attracting investment from some of the world’s leading companies in the high-tech sector.

Demographic trends in the BSSR workforce by gender, age, and citizenship.

Number of persons in the labour force (employment and unemployment), unemployment rate, participation rate and employment rate by age group and gender. Data are presented for 12 months earlier, previous month and current month, as well as year-over-year and month-to-month level change and percentage change. Data are also available for the standard error of the estimate, the standard error of the month-to-month change and the standard error of the year-over-year change.

The dataset contains estimates for the number of healthcare professionals in 15 different healthcare categories (e.g., Registered Nurse, Dentist, License Clinical Social Worker, etc.) based on completion of license renewal by Race/Ethnicity. There are two timeframes: all current licenses and recent licenses (since 2017). California population estimates are also included to provide a marker for each Race/Ethnicity. Each healthcare professional category can be compared across Race/Ethnicity groups and compared to statewide population estimates, so Race/Ethnicity shortages can be identified for each healthcare professional category. For instance, a notable difference between healthcare professional category and statewide population would indicate either underrepresentation or overrepresentation for that Race/Ethnicity, depending on the direction of the difference.

Demographic trends of incoming PhDs in BSSR workforce by gender, age, and citizenship.

The series comes from the 'Current Population Survey (Household Survey)' The source code is: LNS11300000

The Labor Force Participation Rate is defined by the Current Population Survey (CPS) as “the number of people in the labor force as a percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population […] the participation rate is the percentage of the population that is either working or actively looking for work.”

The Labor Force Participation Rate is collected in the CPS and published by the BLS. It is provided on a monthly basis, so this data is used in part by macroeconomists as an initial economic indicator of current labor market trends. The labor force participation rate helps government agencies, financial markets, and researchers gauge the overall health of the economy.

Note that long-run changes in labor force participation may reflect secular economic trends that are unrelated to the overall health of the economy. For instance, demographic changes such as the aging of population can lead to a secular increase of exits from the labor force, shrinking the labor force and decreasing the labor force participation rate.

The Asia-Pacific region shows significant variations in labor force participation rates (LFPR) among the population aged 15 to 64 years, with North Korea’s LFPR estimated at 89 percent and Afghanistan’s at about 38 percent in 2024. This stark contrast highlights the diverse economic and social landscapes across the region, influencing workforce engagement. Regional trends and forecasts APAC’s rapidly aging population is putting growing pressure on the labor market, with projections showing a declining labor force participation rate across the region between 2023 and 2050. East Asia, where demographic changes are most pronounced, is expected to see a significant decline in LFPR among those aged 15 to 54 years, while participation among those over 54 years is projected to rise notably during this period. In contrast, South Asia is the only sub-region anticipated to record a modest increase in participation rates for the 25-54 years age group, highlighting a regional divergence in labor force trends Youth engagement in the labor force The labor force participation rates among youth populations vary greatly across Asia-Pacific countries, reflecting diverse economic conditions, education systems, and social factors. For example, North Korea and Australia boast high youth labor force participation rates of more than 70 percent for those aged 15 to 24 years, while South Korea's rate for the same age group is considerably lower at around 27 percent. In Australia, strong labor market access for students and abundant part-time work opportunities could enable high youth engagement alongside education. Meanwhile, South Korea's strong societal focus on academic achievement and the pursuit of higher education qualifications often leads to prolonged periods of education, which delays young people's entry into the workforce. Moreover, many APAC countries have high NEET (not in education, employment, or training) rates, particularly those in South Asia, underscoring challenges such as skills mismatches and limited job opportunities.

The statistic shows the distribution of the workforce across economic sectors in the United States from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, 1.57 percent of the workforce in the US was employed in agriculture, 19.34 percent in industry and 79.09 percent in services. See U.S. GDP per capita for more information. American workforce A significant majority of the American labor force is employed in the services sector, while the other sectors, industry and agriculture, account for less than 20 percent of the US economy. However, the United States is among the top exporters of agricultural goods – the total value of US agricultural exports has more than doubled since 2000. A severe plunge in the employment rate in the US since 1990 shows that the American economy is still in turmoil after the economic crisis of 2008. Unemployment is still significantly higher than it was before the crisis, and most of those unemployed and looking for a job are younger than 25; youth unemployment is a severe problem for the United States, many college or university graduates struggle to find a job right away. Still, the number of employees in the US since 1990 has been increasing slowly, with a slight setback during and after the recession. Both the number of full-time and of part-time workers have increased during the same period. When looking at the distribution of jobs among men and women, both project the general downward trend. A comparison of the employment rate of men in the US since 1990 and the employment rate of women since 1990 shows that more men tend to be employed than women.
