    200 m + Labor Force = Working Age Population

    Since the participation rate is 80%,

    so we know that Labor Force = 0.80 x Working Age Population

    Thus, 200 m + 0.80 Working Age Population = Working Age Population

    200 m = Working Age Population (1-0.80)

    Solving for working age population,

    we get Working Age Population = 200 m / 0.2 = 1000 m

    The working age population is 1000 million.
