Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator measures the relative engagement of women in the labor market compared to men, offering valuable insights into gender equity in economic participation. By calculating the percentage of female labor force participation relative to male participation, it highlights disparities and trends in gender-based work opportunities. A higher ratio signifies greater female involvement, reflecting improvements in societal attitudes towards women’s work and access to employment. Conversely, a lower ratio can pinpoint areas needing policy intervention to enhance women's economic empowerment. This measure not only aids in assessing progress towards gender parity but also serves as a crucial tool for policymakers aiming to foster inclusive economic growth and improve overall labor market dynamics.
