1 “Currently employed” is defined as having done work in the past seven days. Includes persons who did<br />

not work in the past seven days but who are regularly employed <strong>and</strong> were absent from work for leave,<br />

illness, vacation, or any other such reason.<br />

The proportion currently employed is much higher among men than women (Table 3.5.2).<br />

The majority <strong>of</strong> men age 15-49 (85 percent) were employed at the time <strong>of</strong> survey. The percentage <strong>of</strong><br />

currently employed men rises with age, from 66 percent among men age 15-19 to 96 percent among<br />

men age 45-49. Never-married men, men with no children, urban men, those living in Dili, those with<br />

a secondary education, <strong>and</strong> those in the highest wealth quintile are least likely to be currently<br />

employed.
