Population density
Population growth in a region can be measured through the population density, the higher the number of population is, the higher the population will be and vise versa. The population density can be influenced by geographical factor (physiologic factor, natural sources, climate and topography) and demographical factor (birthrate, mortality and migration). In 2015, the number of Riau population is 5.877.887 people and the area is 89.150,16 Km2. Thus, the average of population density by June 2015 is 65,93 people/Km2 .

Employments
The employment or labor is an aspect that is necessary to discuss because it is one of economy development indicators. The good employment contributes in development of economy. The problems which still obstacles the employment of Riau Province are the high rate of unemployment, the low quality of employees, the under-aged workers and so forth. Related to the quality of the labor forces, the participation of society in the working world should be supported by the quality of adequate human resources. It is due to the demands on the labor forces are no only about the working skills, but also the skills to compete in the specific working atmosphere and the competition in the field. The discussion about employment has been more appealing viewed from the participation of either mean or women in the working world. Along with the times, the number of working women increases due to the demand to support the family welfare so the condition where the women works has become an appealing issue to discuss. The characteristics of the working/career women, the quality of human resources, and the position compared to the men are the questions that should be answered to acquire information about the condition of Indonesian employment in the wider view.
The Labor Force based on Ages
The labor forces are over-15 years old population (manpower) and do not include school students, pensioners, housemaids and so forth. The labor forces are divided into two, the employed people and unemployed people.
The number of the labor forces in Riau Province according to ages is indicated as following table:

The Open Unemployment Rate
The open unemployment is the jobless population or job seekers. The unemployment emerges due to the imbalance between labor demands and supplies. The labor supplies overflow because of the high rate of population growth, the uneven population dispersion or the economy structure changes. In other side, the needs on the labors should be followed by requirements, such as sex, competence, education level, and even experience; in addition, the formal sectors tend to use the capital-intensive technologies which less provide employments.
The indicator related to the employment’s problems is the open unemployment rate. It is provide in percentage of the total unemployed population compared to the labor force. Table below shows the open unemployment rate of Riau Province:

Viewed from the table above, the number of working-age population (over 15 years old) in Riau Province per August 2015 is 4.383.550 people. The number of employed population is 2.554.296 people, in which 1.000.946 of them work in urban areas and the rest by 1.553.350 people work in rural areas. In view of working areas, the open employment rate in urban areas is quite high, by 9,25 percent and 6,90 percent in rural areas. Growing the sufficient economy with the expansion of employment orientation will be very helpful in reducing the unemployment rate.
The open unemployment rate, which is 7,83 percent, shows the phenomena of the job seekers that keep increasing. Also, that might be caused by economic boosts, such as the needs for income, as well as the increasingly open job opportunity, mainly in urban areas. However, it does not increase in line with the increase of Labor Force Participation Rate; meaning that the percentage of the over 15 years-old population who work lowers.
Education
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)
The Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) can be defined as a comparison between number of students in all levels of education (all ages) and school-age group population according to the educational levels which is presented in percentage.
The GER calculation result is used to find out the number of school students at a particular educational level in a certain region. GER is the simplest indicators to measure the capacity of school-age population at each educational level. The higher the GER is, the more school-age population who attend school at a certain educational level in a certain region.
The GER value can be more than 100 %. It is due to the students population at a educational level includes over school-age students in the educational level concerned. For example, many over-12 years old students still attend elementary schools or many under-7 years old students attend elementary schools.
The attendance of over-standard age students at a particular level of education shows that there are cases of failing a grade or being missed for school enrolment. In contrast, the attendance of under-standard age students at a particular level of education shows that the students attend the school at earlier age.
The following table shows the GER of Riau Province:
The Gross Enrolment Rate of Riau Province in 2015
No | Educational Level | Number of Population | Number of Students | GER |
1 | Elementary | 828.604 | 825.520 | 99,63 |
2 | Junior High | 407.305 | 314.703 | 77,26 |
3 | Senior High | 346.918 | 231.256 | 66,66 |
Source : Department of Manpower, Transmigration and Population, Data of 2016
The data above shows that the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) of Riau Province is quite high in elementary education level. Yet, it is still lower for junior high and senior high education level. The data shows that 77,26% of GER is at junior high level and 66,66% of GER is at senior high level.
The Net Enrolment Rate (NER)
The Net Enrolment Rate (NER) can be defined as a comparison between number of school-age group students at the particular level of education (according to ages) and appropriate school-age population which is presented in percentage. Differed from GER which is used to find out the number of school-age populations who have already attended schools at a particular level of education for al ages, the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) is used to find out the proportion of population attending school at appropriate age.
If all school-age children attend school at appropriate age, the NER will reach 100%. The higher the NER is, the more school-age children attending schools in a certain region at a particular level of education. The ideal NER is 100% because there are students coming from other regions who are allowed to repeat each level, region, city or borderland. Generally, the NER is always lower than GER because GER includes the out-school age students at the concerned level of education. Deviation between GER and NER shows the proportion of students who are missed or too early in attending school. The GER’s limitation is that there is possibility of under estimation because there are out-standard age students at a particular level of education; Foe example, a 6 year-old student of first grade will not be in calculation of NER because the age is under standard age for elementary level that is age 7 to 12. The following table presents the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) OF Riau Province:
The Net Enrolment Rate of Riau Province in 2015
No | Educational Level | Number of Population | Number of Students | NER |
1 | Elementary | 828.604 | 795.850 | 99,63 |
2 | Junior High | 407.305 | 243.572 | 59,8 |
3 | Senior High | 346.918 | 197.714 | 56,99 |

The data presented above shows that the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) OF Riau Province is quite high at elementary level, while its is lower at junior high and senior high level. It shows that 59,8% of NER is at junior high level and 56,99% of NER is at senior high level.
The Literacy Rate
The literacy rate is the proportion of over-15 years old population who are literate, without having to understand what they are literate about, towards the total of over-15 years old population. The literacy rate is used as the main indicator to find out how populations of a region are open about knowledge.The table below shows the literacy rate of Riau Province in 2015.
