Labor force, female

This indicator reflects the segment of women aged 15 and older who are actively engaged in the workforce, contributing to the economy through their labor in the production of goods and services. It encompasses both employed individuals and those who are unemployed yet seeking job opportunities, including new entrants to the labor market. However, it typically excludes certain groups such as unpaid family workers, students without formal employment, and in some cases, military personnel. Seasonal fluctuations can significantly impact the size of this workforce, as many women may take on temporary roles during peak production periods. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for assessing gender disparities in employment and the overall health of the economy. Source:
