The labor force participation rate in Asian countries is high at 81.9 percent, which makes it the most popular demographic indicator of the region.
In contrast, it is only 83.4 percent in the United States, which has the most labor force in the world.
According to data from the World Bank, the labor force includes people who want to work and people who do not want to, but who are not in need of employment.
This means that people who are in need are also not participating in the labor market, which may explain why there are so many countries in the Asian region that are lagging in the workforce.
