Read the following statements - Assertion (A) and Reason (R):
Assertion (A) – Population is defined as the total number of people who reside in a particular locality at a particular point of time.
Reason(R) – If Worker-Population ratio is higher, it means that the engagement of people is greater.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Worker population ratio is an indicator which is used for analysing the employment situation in the country. This ratio is useful in knowing the proportion of population that is actively contributing to the production of goods and services of a country. If the ratio is higher, it means that the engagement of people is greater; if the ratio for a country is medium, or low, it means that a very high proportion of its population is not involved directly in economic activities.
