Armed forces personnel (% of total labor force)

This indicator reflects the proportion of active military personnel within a country's total labor force, encompassing all individuals engaged in economically productive activities as defined by the International Labour Organization. It includes not only regular military members but also paramilitary groups that possess military-like training and capabilities, highlighting the dual nature of their roles in both defense and civil support. Analyzing this percentage provides insight into a nation’s military commitment relative to its working population and can reveal trends in national security policies, economic prioritization regarding defense, and potential impacts on labor market dynamics. Moreover, fluctuations in this ratio may indicate shifts in governmental focus between military augmentation and civilian workforce development, impacting overall economic health and stability.
