Employment in agriculture, male (% of male employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator provides a crucial insight into the proportion of male employment within the agricultural sector, encompassing diverse activities such as farming, fishing, hunting, and forestry, as classified under the appropriate International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) categories. It represents not just those currently engaged in agricultural work but also accounts for men temporarily absent from their jobs due to various reasons, thus offering a comprehensive picture of male participation in this vital economic sector. By analyzing this data, stakeholders can assess labor trends, evaluate the economic significance of agriculture, and identify potential areas for policy intervention aimed at enhancing male employment opportunities in rural areas. Moreover, the modeled estimates help bridge gaps in data collection, providing a more accurate reflection of current labor dynamics. Source:
