    Answer: 6%

    Explanation:

    Total population = 260 million.

    Dependent population = 60 million

    Employed population = 188 million

    Unemployed population = 12 million

    Total Labour Force = employed population + unemployed population

    = 188 million + 12 million

    = 200 million

    Therefore total labor force = 200 million

    Unemployment rate = unemployed people / Total Labour Force*100

    = 12 million/200 million*100

    =0.06 * 100

    =6%

    Unemployment rate = 6%
