Simply because the labour force number of 2007 as pictured above is only 500 persons stronger than the preceding year. The only two things that could explain such a small increment -- about 20 times less than the usual change -- would be an emigration of about 10,000 people in that particular year. I checked but didn't find anything. Or it could be the result of a kink in our population pyramid. Nothing there either.
And when you adjust the numbers you get a labour force that's about 20,000 larger in the last three years than the official statistics. That translates into an unemployment rate of 10.8% at the end of 2009 instead of the 7.7%.

10,000 people emigrated...? Just thinking aloud: What if we reversed the rationale and checked the effect of an influx of about 10,000 people from abroad - perhaps a fraction of them being expatriates - having taken Mauritian nationality? Could this be plausible? Ou-bien, plus machiavéliquement, Mr Bundhoo justement finn retire-li akoz bann instructions "venant d'en haut" pou faire so bann chiffres dire bann zaffer ki pas sipposer dire...? Mystère, mystère...
@akagugo: sa ka de figir la li pa explik nu sityasyon: kifer Mauritian Labour Force inn ogment zis par 500 en 2007.
Mr Bundhoo inn pran so retret, li pa finn retire-li.
Our country, in the wake of its independence, has inherited some fine traditions from the british like keeping national records and figures of nearly everything that counts. This is not a mean achievement. We also have smart people to do this kind of job. What is missing however the openness of the systems put in place. We do a lot of things brilliantly but mecanically without bothering to know about their real meanings. We often end up in the same situations that other countries with lesser advantages find themselves.
@ SJ:
Oops, my mistake: I misread "Linn retire" for "li finn rétir li-mem". OK, then, if Mr Bundhoo retired, I retract what I've said.
But why is the post left vacant behind him not filled in asap? Is this to be blamed on "lenteurs administratives"? ou-bien le fait ki le 'parent-ministry' of CSO is the Ministry of Finance & Economic Development?
Anyway, increase by only 500 in Dodoland's labour for 2007 must have logical explanation. As far as we don't ask it from Mr Soomarooah... :-) By the way, the first Soomarooah-free fuel prices will be published soon: let's wait and see!
