126,804,433 80.4% fulltime 19.6% part time Japan's labour force exceeds 125 million people,this is substantially larger than Uzbekistan's, standing just above 15 million peoples. Japan is globally recognized for its significant progress and advancement with technology, it is therefore understandable that its population is far greater in size due to economic growth and urbanization. Compared to Uzbekistan whose labour force is considerably lower, yet has a much lower unemployment rate (1.1% as apposed to 5.9%) and the participation rate is much larger with over 85% of the population involved as apposed to Japans 69%. This being said Japan's minimum wage is almost 5 times that of Uzbekistans whose force participates largely in agriculture (43%). Where as Japans force who are predominately involved in services (75.4%) and with small areas for agricultural production only 4% in the industry.

The economies of Japan and China differ greatly on many levels. The Chinese Labour Force (the largest in the world) is 812.7 million, which is over 6 times larger than the Japanese Labour force, at nearly 127 million (CIA World Factbook). The unemployment rate is also significantly lower in China, 4.2%(CIA World Factbook) against 5.6% in Japan (RBA) (although 4.2% is a lower estimate based on urban areas). The Participation Rate is slightly higher in China (61.35% (Bureau of Labour Statistics) against 59.8% in Japan, (Economagic). The diversification of Labour is one of the biggest differences between the two economies, with the vast majority of labour being absorbed by the services sector in Japan (75.4% (CIA World Factbook)) and only 4% in Agriculture (CIA World Factbook). This contrasts with a fairly equally large numbers in China in the Services and Agriculture Sectors (~40% each) and a slightly smaller Industry Sector (27.2%) (CIA World Factbook). Productivity growth is also a key difference, with a much larger 17% in China (Bureau of Labour Statistics) to Japan's 2% annually (OECD Stats). Japan has a minimum wage of $US6.54 (OECD Stats) which compares to a much lower and morally questionable $0.38-0.68 minimum wage (SGS News). This varies because there is no national standard on minimum wages and it varies from province to province (SGS News). Because labour is so cheap, China's manufacturing industry has exploded - companies can lower costs significantly by moving there, and this is a key cause of China's growth, but is also highly unethical.

The economic systems and their role in France and India are different, however there are still many similarities between both countries. According to the CIA World Factbook (2010) the labour force size in India was 467million, which is 39.1% (Indian Government, 2001) of the population, whereas in France 27.99million people or 57.3% (Economagic, 2009) of the population. The unemployment rate in France is 9.7% (CIA, 2010) which is slightly lower than the unemployment rate of India which is 1% more, at 10.7% (CIA, 2010). There are many differences in the percentage of labour involved in agriculture, industry and services. In India there is 52% of labour in agriculture compared to just 3.8% in France (CIA, 2010). The variation is likely to be a result of the lower level of development in India compared to France. The level of labour involved in industry is fairly low in both countries, but the level in India is over 10% lower than that in France. In France just 24.3% of the labour force works in the industry field (CIA, 2010). The is over 71% of the labour force participating in the field of services (CIA, 2010), which is very high, especially compared with India. There is 34% working the field of services in India (CIA, 2010). The minimum hourly wage in India is not set nationally and varies considerable from area to area, figure 1 below demonstrates the varying minimum wages per area for one region. The minimum wage in France in 2004 was $10.87AUD, which is fairly low (Lothar Funk and Hagen Lesch, 2005). Information regarding labour productivity in India is undisclosed, and it likely to be unmeasured. The labour productivity in France in 53.2% as of USA (USA 100%) which is not high. Countries such as Australia is approximately 80%. (OECD, 2010). Overall, there are varying degrees of different between India and France, the variation of participation per area (ie agriculture, industry, services) is one significant different however the unemployment rate is not significantly varied.======
