Of course, but within those you class as not-employed will be full time students and those training for work. It's not as if nearly 25% of the population sits on its arse. There will be a small percentage of people who choose not to work as a partner earns enough to keep both of them plus family.

Interestingly, the 75.8% employment rate includes those working part time and those on zero hour contracts. It's not as if three quarters of the population are in full time, meaningful employment.

I am still 'working age' (assumes that means below the state pension age).

I am 'early retired' (almost 9 years ago now).

I am not seeking work, I am not medically unfit for work, and I am not unemployed.

That is my context!
