6 0

Answer: 6%

Explanation:

Total population= 260 million.

Dependent population= 60 million

Employed population= 188 million

Unemployed population= 12 million

Total Labour Force= employed population + unemployed population

= 188 million + 12 million

= 200 million

Therefore total labor force= 200 million

Unemployment rate= unemployed people/ Total Labour Force×100

= 12 million/200 million×100

=0.06× 100

=6%

Unemployment rate= 6%

The price of jeans will rise, the demand will rise, but the supply will not.
