How this figure is calculated
Labor force, female divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Labor force, female ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Labor force, female World Bank, World Development Indicators database. Estimates are based on data obtained from International Labour Organization and United Nations Population Division
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
