In 2022, the labor participation rate among the total population aged between 15 and 64 in Sierra Leone remained nearly unchanged at around 54.9 percent. Nevertheless, this was the first time during the observed period that the labor participation rate increased in Sierra Leone. The labor force participation rate refers to the share of the population aged 15 years and over who are economically active. Unemployed people actively searching for work are included, whereas the long-term unemployed (economically inactive) are not. It is calculated by dividing the total number of workers aged 15 and over by the total population aged 15 and over.
