Evidence: Supports the 9 ranked informal employment rate among women in construction observations for 2024.
The rate is women in informal construction employment as a share of all women employed in construction. ILOSTAT observations can include national estimates or statistical breaks, as indicated by the source.
The ranking filters the ILOSTAT series to women employed in construction, the completed 2024 period and sovereign-nation observations, then orders the rates from highest to lowest.
Every row uses the same ILOSTAT informal-employment indicator, construction classification, sex basis, percent-of-employment unit and 2024 period.
