What is one of the non-uniform
trend in BRIC countries? This is the population to payroll ratio. Out of four
countries Russia & Brazil stand out at 44% & 36%. In China 27% of the
population is actively working full time for some employer, for India this
number is at 26%.
What this might mean is Brazil
seems to be running fast in providing a sustainable & competitive environment
for people for development while China and India continue to do so amidst large
population they have. The situation
seems hopeful for these countries- but they still have a lot to do.
The leaders in the list are
Kuwait and Sweden with payroll to population ratio at 51% and 52% respectively.
African countries along with
few Middle East countries lag the list with ratios as low as <10%. This indicates
still continuing unstable political situations and lack of education
infrastructure. To get more insights on the survey conducted by Gallup you can
