Self-employed, female (% of female employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator captures the proportion of women engaged in self-employment relative to total female employment, derived from modeled estimates by the International Labour Organization. It encompasses various forms of self-employment, including solo entrepreneurs, small business partners, cooperatives members, and family contributors, highlighting the diverse roles women play in the economy. As women increasingly enter the labor market, their presence as self-employed individuals is vital for understanding economic resilience and empowerment. This metric not only reflects women's entrepreneurial spirit but also their adaptability in response to opportunities and challenges within the workforce. By analyzing this data, stakeholders can better assess gender disparities and the effectiveness of policies aimed at fostering female entrepreneurship. Source:
