Abstract
This article outlines some aspects of the relationship between Economically Active Population (EAP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Mexico from 1895 to 2015, since both size and structure of the former have an impact on the GDP; its purpose is to estimate the labor productivity with available data and some adjustments to obtain reliable estimators. There are five phases: the first describes the dimensions of the EAP; the second analyzes its relation with the economic growth; the third describes deficiencies in measuring the EAP; the fourth presents a prospective of EAP, GDP and employment, and the fifth is for conclusions and recommendations. It is inferred that the labor productivity grew until the early 1980s, descending afterwards under a conflictive perspective; in the medium and short run, statistical estimates produce consistent results; it is recommended the EAP should be measured in active life years to obtain a better estimate of the labor force.
