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

This indicator reflects the proportion of women engaged in service-oriented employment within the broader framework of female employment. Employment in this context encompasses individuals of working age who participate in the production of goods or delivery of services for remuneration, regardless of their active work status during the reference timeframe. The services sector encompasses a diverse array of industries, including retail, hospitality, transportation, finance, insurance, real estate, and community services, distinguished by various classification systems. This measure highlights the vital role women play in the service economy, offering insights into gender disparities in labor markets and informing policies aimed at promoting gender equality in employment opportunities across sectors. Understanding this dimension is crucial for assessing socio-economic progress and targeting interventions effectively. Source:
