Working Age
To determine the working-age population:
(a) the lower age limit should be set taking into consideration the minimum age for employment and exceptions specified in national laws or regulations, or the age of completion of
compulsory schooling;
(b) no upper age limit should be set, so as to permit comprehensive coverage of work activities of the adult population and to examine transitions between employment and retirement.The 19th ICLS, Resolution I, concerning statistics of work, employment and labour underutilization
