Absorption rate
• Indicates the proportion of the working-age
population (15-64 years) which is currently
employed
It is calculated by dividing the number of people employed by the total number of people of
working age (15-64 years).
Example:
• For example, of the 36,9 million people of
working age,
• 16,1 million were employed in SA, then
employment-to-population ratio (absorption
rate) is 43,5%
Labour force
participation rate
• Represents the share of working-age
population that is actively engaged in the
labour market by either being employed or
available to work, i.e. labour supply
• It is calculated by dividing the number of
people in the labour force
(employed+unemployed) by the total
number of people of working age
• (15-64 years).
Example
• Of the 36,98 million people of working age,
• 21,8 million people were in the labour force in
SA,
• The labour force participation rate is 59,2%

Number of employed
people increased from
14,4 million in Q1:2008
to 16,1 million in
Q4:2016
Labour market dashboard
Despite the rise in the
number of employed, the
absorption rate has not
recovered to pre-
recession level of 45,8%
in 2008
The labour force
participation rate remains
below pre-recession level
because discouragement
increased.
