It includes the armed forces and the unemployed but excludes groups deemed economically inactive such as students, housewives, care-givers and others who are constitutionally excluded from economic activities. (For further definition, see ILO, Labour Force Estimates and Projections 1950-2000, Geneva 1986.)
