Answer :
Final answer:
By adding the part-time and full-time workers in Italy's civilian noninstitutionalized working-age population and subtracting from the total, we find that 18.31 million are not working. Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 18.31 million are not working.
Explanation:
The question asks us to calculate how many people in the civilian noninstitutionalized working-age population of Italy are not working, based on given data about part-time and full-time workers. The total working-age population is given as 35.9 million, with 4.4 million working part-time and 13.19 million working full-time.
To calculate the number of people not working, we can add the number of part-time and full-time workers, and subtract the sum from the total working-age population:
- Number of people working (part-time + full-time) = 4.4 million + 13.19 million = 17.59 million
- Number of people not working = Total population - Number of people working = 35.9 million - 17.59 million = 18.31 million
Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 18.31 million are not working.
