	Participation criterion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The participation criterion is a voting system criterion for evaluating voting systems.
		The participation criterion for voting systems is one example of a rational participation constraint for social choice mechanisms in general.
		The most common failure of the participation criterion is not in the use of particular voting systems, but in simple yes or no measures that place quorum requirements.

	Participation constraint (mechanism design) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mechanism design, participation constraints or rational participation constraints are said to be satisfied if a mechanism leaves all participants at least as well off as they would have been if they hadn't participated.
		Unfortunately, it can frequently be shown that participation constraints are incompatible with other desirable properties of mechanisms for many purposes.
		One kind of participation constraint is called the "participation criterion" for voting systems.

	Majority choice approval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It would satisfy the majority criterion were it not for the fact that voters are allowed to mark more than one candidate as Favored.
		The Participation criterion requires that a voter must not be able to obtain a preferable result from the election by not voting.
		This is a failure of the Participation criterion, because by showing up to vote, the three additional voters caused their least favorite candidate to be elected.

	Trends in Participation in Secondary Vocational Education 1982–1992 / Chapter 2
		However, it is the declining level of participation in the occupationally specific curriculum, from 2.9 to 2.5 credits between 1982 and 1992, that is likely to have the greatest impact on students' labor market prospects after high school.
		Participation in the occupationally specific curriculum was consistently higher than in the general labor market preparation and consumer and homemaking education curricula, and the level of participation remained relatively stable over the 10-year period, at about 87–89 percent of all graduates.
		Thus, high school graduates continued to participate in the occupationally specific curriculum at the same rate in 1992 as they had in 1982 overall, but they completed fewer credits on average and the composition of their course taking shifted away from sequential courses and toward specialty courses.

	[EM] Introducing "Insanity Voting" - the only voting system which meets the Insanity Criterion
		Plurality criterion: "If the number of ballots ranking A as the first preference is greater than the number of ballots on which another candidate B is given any preference, then A's probability of election must be no less than B's.": Passed.
		Favorite Betrayal Criterion: "For any voter who has a unique favorite, there should be no possible set of votes cast by the other voters such that the voter can optimize the outcome (from his own perspective) only by voting someone over his favorite.": Passed, for two reasons.
		Participation Criterion: Depending on the definition used, this one is either passed or failed.

	Conservation Ecology: A Classification of Collaborative Management Methods
		As participants step out of their customary roles and interact with new people and groups, old social institutions are changed and new ones are formed.
		Criterion 2 is a measure of the degree to which a method considers such institutional attributes in guiding collaborative natural resource management.
		Participation per se may be difficult to achieve with SSA, given the complexity of the method and the amount of time necessary to become versed in it.

	Non-compulsory support criterion - Electotest
		A voting method satisfies the Non-compulsory Support criterion if the ballot provides a means for the voter to exclude one or more candidates from supportive ranking or rating, and by doing so, not causing harm to any supported candidates or help to non-supported candidates.
		Methods that satisfy this criterion include Approval voting, Range voting, Bucklin voting, truncatable STV methods and Borda count that is voter truncated from the low rankings.
		However, because STV methods do not satisfy the monotonicity criterion or the participation criterion, not ranking a candidate can lead to an outcome where a ranked candidate was harmed or a unranked candidate was helped as a result of a particular truncated ballot.

	ILO - International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour : Field Publications
		It is demonstrated that higher work participation of female children is mainly due to their higher participation in noneconomic activities.
		If child labour is considered as participating in paid activities irrespective of current school attendance, types and duration of work, it constitutes 4.5 per cent in the country, 4.3 per cent for male children and 4.6 for female children.
		Under this criterion, incidence of child labour in mountain is 6.3 per cent, 4.4 per cent in the hill and 4.3 per cent in the Tarai.

		The corresponding economic participation rate is estimated to be 27.9 per cent for male children and 25.5 per cent for female children.
		As there is a marginal difference in the economic participation rate by sex of the children, this leads to conclude that incidence of child labour does not vary much among male and female children in Nepal.
		According to this criterion, incidence of child labour in mountain is 6.3 per cent, 4.4 per cent in the hill and 4.3 per cent in the Tarai.

		Most of the participating countries had difficulty meeting the specifications for obtaining representative groups of students for the two assessments given in the final year of secondary school.
		Also, the school participation rate (without using replacements) had to be at least 50 percent, and either the combined participation rate (the product of school and student participation rates after replacements) had to be at least 75 percent, or the school and student participation rates each had to be 85 percent.
		The results of the TIMSS assessment show that overall, U.S. twelfth graders were significantly below the average of the 21 countries participating in the assessment of mathematics general knowledge [2, p.26] Unlike the results at grades 4 and 8, the results of the mathematics general knowledge assessment have not been reported by mathematical topic.

		Considering these under the first criterion of self-attribution (and not just in titles but also in the texts themselves) greatly augments the number of texts which should count as Theories of the Earth.
		Without the third criterion not even Descartes could be regarded as a participant in the tradition.
		Therefore although we acknowledge "Serious Reader" as a criterion of relevance for the Theories of the Earth tradition, it is not a textual criterion for delineating Theories of the Earth as a textual tradition.

		For the better part of this century the pragmatic criterion of MR was, thus, a tested I.Q. below a criterion level, assessed during childhood or early adolescence.
		For a period following the middle of this century, this criterion was set at -1 S.D. from the mean I.Q.; and many educational systems continue to use cutoff scores at or near this level as one criterion for participation in special education services.
		Thus, "adaptive behavior" deficits or limitations associated with intellectual impairments were also introduced into the definition of MR in order to validate the impact of intellectual impairment on pragmatic and social functioning and to enhance prediction of adult functioning.

	Election methods and criteria
		Condorcet methods satisfy the Condorcet criterion, which says that if there is a candidate who could beat any other candidate in a one-on-one election (i.e., if there is a candidate who "pairwise beats" every other candidate), this candidate must be elected.
		This is a failure of the Plurality criterion.
		The Plurality criterion says that C must be elected with no greater probability than A. If C is elected, it could be viewed as an obvious mistake, as there is no way to adjust the ballots voting for C so that there are as many C first preferences as A first preferences.

		Mono-add-top is a relative criterion which requires that if candidate X is the winner of the election, then adding additional ballots which rank X strictly above all other candidates must not reduce the probability that the winner is still X.
		Any method which satisfies the Participation criterion also satisfies Mono-add-top.
		Woodall has shown that it is impossible for a method to satisfy all three of Condorcet, the Plurality criterion, and Mono-add-top.
