Employment in industry, female (% of female employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator reflects the proportion of women engaged in industrial sectors, signifying their contribution to economic activities such as mining, manufacturing, construction, and utilities. It encompasses all working-age women involved in producing goods or delivering services for remuneration, whether actively working, temporarily absent, or participating in flexible work arrangements. By focusing on traditionally male-dominated industries, this measure highlights the evolving role of women in the workforce and underscores gender disparities in labor participation across various sectors. Additionally, it serves as a critical tool for policymakers aiming to enhance gender equality, stimulate inclusive economic growth, and understand the challenges and opportunities faced by women in industrial employment.
