Source description

Summary: This table is part of the Rwanda Labour Force Survey (LFS) 2025 aggregated schema, which compiles quarterly labour market data from 2019 to 2025 to provide a continuous and longitudinal view of workforce dynamics. It presents the distribution of the employed population by economic activity (industry sector) and sex. The table shows percentage shares of employment across sectors for males and females based on the ISIC Rev.4 classification, enabling analysis of gender differences in sectoral employment over time. Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda. Time Period: Quarterly data from 2019 Q1 to 2025 Q4. Frequency: Quarterly Population/Units: Employed persons aged 16 years and above. Key Variables: Economic activity (ISIC Rev.4), sex, number of employed persons, and percentage share of employment by sector. Purpose: To support analysis of gender disparities across economic sectors and inform policies on labour market inclusion, gender equality, and economic transformation. Data Quality Notes: Data are derived from nationally representative Quarterly Labour Force Surveys conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). Estimates are weighted and subject to sampling variability, reflecting employment conditions at the time of each survey round.
