Answer:

80 million and 7.2 million is the rate

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is 6% of participation rate(i.e those employed)

Participation rate is 60%( employed ) = 60% of 200 million = 120 million

The population is 200 million, and 60% is employed = 120 million.

In conclusion, if 200 million is the population and 120 million are employed

the raw simple calculation is 200-120 = 80 million.

80 million are not employed and in this 80 million, it constitute of 16 years and others. so not all 80 million are engaged or part of employment rate.
