Economic activity rate

Last updated

Economic activity rate, EAR (or labor force participation rate , LFPR), is the percentage of the population, both employed and unemployed, [1] that constitutes the workforce, regardless of whether they are currently employed or job searching. [2]

This figure is a measure of the degree of success of the economy in engaging the population in some form of production of services or goods.

Self-employment is the state of working for oneself rather than an employer. Tax authorities will generally view a person as self-employed if the person chooses to be recognised as such or if the person is generating income for which a tax return needs to be filed. In the real world, the critical issue for the tax authorities is not whether a person is engaged in a business activity but whether the activity is profitable and therefore potentially taxable. In other words, the activity of trading is likely to be ignored if no profit is present, so occasional and hobby- or enthusiast-based economic activity is generally ignored by the tax authorities. Self-employed people are usually classified as a sole proprietor, independent contractor, or as a member of a partnership.
