Canada Participation Rate is the percentage of the total number of labor-force age people (15 years and over) who are either employed or are actively seeking employment, in relation to the total population in the corresponding age group.

The indicator is used to measure the unemployment rate and labor market conditions. The indicator growth can have a positive effect on CAD quotes.
