Concept

Employment indicators describe labour-market participation and work status. The Worker Population Ratio (WPR) is the percentage of the total population that is employed; it directly shows how much of the population is working.

Application

The question asks for an indicator used to assess the employment situation. WPR directly relates the number of employed persons to the total population, so it provides an employment measure.

Contrast

• Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks retail price changes and is principally an inflation indicator.

• Human Development Index (HDI) combines health, education and income outcomes to summarize human development.

• Worker Population Ratio (WPR) reports the employed share of the total population.

• The Gini coefficient measures inequality in income or consumption distribution.

Result

Therefore, the relevant indicator is the Worker Population Ratio (WPR).
