Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we do not hold information on the value of one person's employment or unemployment to the economy.

However, we do publish a timeseries of data showing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per head of United Kingdom (UK) population here. This includes the entire UK population at a point in time, regardless of age or employment status.

The data for GDP are in Chained Volume Measure (CVM) estimates so have the affects of inflation removed which means they can be used to compare over time periods on a consistent basis.
