People who work or are looking for work (activity rate)

The name at the source «Labour force participation rate»

What this number is

It is how much the share of the population aged 15 to 64 that is active, working or looking for work, changed over three years, in percentage points. Positive means the active share grew.

The three-year change is smaller than the one measured in 2024. The change is larger than the European Union’s. For the European Commission, a fall of more than 0,2 points over three years is a sign of a possible imbalance: Portugal is above that value.

2,6 three-year change, percentage points
