Child employment in manufacturing, female (% of female economically active children ages 7-14)

This indicator captures the proportion of economically active girls, aged 7 to 14, engaged in the manufacturing sector, reflecting broader trends in child labor and gender roles within the economy. It is rooted in the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), aligning with classifications that distinguish manufacturing activities across various versions of the ISIC framework. By focusing on the participation of young females in this industrial category, the data highlights critical issues related to gender disparity in labor, socio-economic challenges, and the impact of child labor on education and development. Monitoring this statistic is essential for policymakers and advocates aiming to promote equitable labor practices and eradicate child labor, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to pursue education and healthier futures.
