This indicator highlights the prevalence of female children, specifically aged 7 to 14, engaged in economic activities without the concurrent attendance in school. It emphasizes the extent to which young girls are participating in the labor force, signaling potential
issues of educational access and gender-specific economic roles within their communities. Children categorized under this measure have committed at least one hour to work in the week preceding the survey, indicating not only their labor involvement but also the sacrifices they face regarding formal education. Such data can inform policymakers and stakeholders about the challenges these children encounter, offering insights into the socio-economic conditions that compel them to work at an early age and the broader implications for their future opportunities and well-being.
