Employment-to-population ratio fell to 54.4% in 2025, from 54.6% in 2024.

What share of working-age Haitians are in work, 1991 to 2027, by sex and by three age bands. This is the measure to read beside the unemployment rate. The ILO definition of unemployment requires active search, which in Haiti excludes most people without work, so the unemployment rate can sit near 15% while telling you little.
