Wage and salaried workers, female (% of female employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator represents the proportion of employed women who hold wage and salaried positions, reflecting their integration into formal labor markets. It encompasses those individuals engaged in paid employment roles where their earnings are assured through defined employment contracts, either written or verbal, rather than being contingent on the financial performance of the organization. Tracking this metric provides insights into gender disparities in workforce participation, economic empowerment, and the stability of female employment. Furthermore, it highlights shifts in societal norms regarding women's roles in the workforce, informing policymakers and stakeholders on progress towards gender equality and the need for targeted initiatives that enhance female representation in secure, salaried positions.
