Unemployment, female (% of female labor force) (national estimate)

This indicator measures the proportion of women within the labor force who are actively seeking employment but are unable to secure a job. It highlights the disparities and challenges that female workers face in the job market, reflecting broader social and economic factors that may influence their employment opportunities. Variations in this metric can reveal underlying issues such as gender discrimination, education levels, and the availability of childcare services, which can significantly impact women's participation in the workforce. Furthermore, this statistic can serve as a critical tool for policymakers aiming to develop targeted interventions to enhance female employment rates, promote gender equality, and foster inclusive economic growth. By analyzing trends in female unemployment, stakeholders can better address systemic barriers and support the integration of women into the labor market. Source:
