Unit constraint

(Ping @Jura1:, who added the original unitless constraint, and @Pasleim: who modified it to use percent (Q11229), and @Ladsgroup:, who just added many statements using percent (Q11229) following the current constraint. See also this thread.)

I disagree with using percent (Q11229) as a unit for this property. It's not really a unit in the normal sense, it just divides the value by 100. A value of 5% should just be expressed as 0.05, without a unit. --Yair rand (talk) 16:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

• This was created before units were available for quantities. When units became available, I added the unitless constraint. Whatever solution you guys come up with, please make sure to keep the "Allowed values" field in sync with the remainder.

percent (Q11229) is an unit for a ratio. In en:Unemployment#Measurement it is written that "The unemployment rate is expressed as a percentage" and the World Bank, which is the source Ladsgroup used, also states all unemployment rates in %. --Pasleim (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Data import

Please see Wikidata:Bot_requests/Archive/2018/11#Add_annual_country_level_unemployment_rate_(P1198).

In the meantime, maybe we could add this to "economics of" items instead of country items. See a list of them at Wikidata:WikiProject_Economics/lists/economics_by_country.
