A final variable, the economic activity rate among women, was also examined.

Economic activity rates are low among those of pensionable age.

The economic activity rate is the percentage of the relevant population either in work or registered as unemployed.

Economic activity rates vary between age and gender groups within the population; they also vary historically.

Younger women had higher economic activity rates.

Underemployment can also be used in regional planning to describe localities where economic activity rates are unusually low.

Trend data on employment and economic activity rates for women are less reliable, particularly given their low unemployment registration rates.

In particular this applied to women, and one indication of it is indeed the change over the post-war period in economic activity rates among women.

Wrexham county borough as a whole has an economic activity rate of 79.5 percent, which is above both the Wales and Great Britain averages.

Erm the approach we've adopted is to try and be as flexible as possible in terms of the using both the land-take and the economic activity rates.

While this practice has now been successfully challenged in the courts, the effects on pension scheme provision and older women's economic activity rates have yet to be seen (Davidson, 1990).

Older people in the study had to enter the labour market at precisely the time of the steepest fall in the economic activity rates of older workers at large.

Economic activity rate is the percentage of the population, both employed and unemployed, who constitutes the manpower supply of the labor market regardless of their current labor status.

The City of Bradford has a lower economic activity rate than West Yorkshire, the regional average for Yorkshire and the Humber and the national average.

By extension, the term is also used in regional planning to describe regions where economic activity rates are unusually low, due to a lack of job opportunities, training opportunities, or due to a lack of services such as childcare and public transportation.

Baldwin's (1985) study of parents caring for a severely disabled child showed that the mothers, economic activity rates were almost half those of a control group of mothers who did not have a disabled child (33 per cent and 59 per cent respectively).

Perhaps because of disincentives built into the Supplementary Benefit system, the 'zero-earner couple' category is bigger than one would expect if the wives of unemployed men had the same economic activity rates as the wives of employed men (see Rimmer, 1987, p. 44 for a discussion of this phenomenon).
