About the indicator

Military personnel on active duty as a percent of the total labor force of the country. Data of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and SIPRI through the World Bank database. The indicator measures not military power but the economic cost of an army in human resources: what share of those able to work is occupied by service rather than by production.

Important: It differs from the share of population in its denominator: where the share of children and the elderly is large, the same army gives a higher value by this indicator.
