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 share of workers employed in the agricultural sector within the total workforce, disaggregated by sex. The table shows the percentage distribution of agricultural workers by gender (male, female, and total), enabling analysis of gender differences in agricultural employment over time.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, with potential breakdowns by urban and rural areas.
Time Period: Quarterly data from 2019 Q1 to 2025 Q4.
Frequency: Quarterly
Population/Units: Individuals aged 16 years and above in the workforce, specifically those employed in agriculture.
Key Variables: Sex, number of agricultural workers, share of agricultural workers in total workforce (percentage), and time (quarter).
Purpose: To support analysis of gender patterns in agricultural employment, informing policies on gender equality, labour market transformation, and agricultural sector development.
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 subject to sampling variability and reflect reported employment status at the time of each survey round.

Time Period: 2019–2025, based on quarterly data collection rounds conducted throughout each year.
Frequency: Quarterly (four rounds per year), aggregated for longitudinal analysis.
Population/Units: Individuals aged 16 years and above living in private households in Rwanda.
Key Variables: Employment status, unemployment rate, labour force participation rate, underutilization indicators (LU1–LU4), NEET rate, median earnings, occupation, industry (economic activity), and status in employment (ICLS-93 and ICSE-18 classifications), with breakdowns by sex, age, education level, and residence.
Purpose: To support labour market monitoring, employment policy design, workforce planning, and evaluation of national development strategies through consistent and internationally comparable labour statistics.
