Economic activity & inactivity

Economic activity and inactivity are measures that are applied to the working population only.

Economically active are people that are in employment, either employees or self employed and those that are unemployed of working age and who are looking and available to start work.

Economically inactive are people who are neither in employment or registered unemployed - eg those looking after the home / children or retired (and of working age) or those that have not sought work in the last four weeks and not available to start work.
