How this figure is calculated
Time-related underemployment (ILO modelled estimates) (15+) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Time-related underemployment (ILO modelled estimates) (15+) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Time-related underemployment (ILO modelled estimates) International Labour Organization
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
