Solution -

Number of unemployed worker is 2 million.

Number of employed workers is 50 million.

Working age population is 80 million.

The labour force participation rate is a measure of an economy's active workforce.

So,

Labour force participation rate = (sum of all workers employed + sum of all workers unemployed) ÷ working age population ×100

= (50 + 2) ÷ 80 × 100

= 65 %

Answer - labour force participation rate is 65 %.

Option  c. 65% is correct
