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.

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).
