The 2002 Population and Housing CensusFigure 10.3: Sex Distribution of Population Aged 10 years and above byLiteracy Status706563 636054 5450505046 47403537 37%3020100UrbanLiterateRuralLiterateAll Areas -LiterateUrbanIlliterateRuralIlliterateAll Areas -IlliterateMaleFemale10.2 Gender and Economic ActivityParticipation in economic activities generates an earning for the individuals and henceempowers them to take decisions concerning themselves and their dependants.However, much of the women’s work in developing countries is overlooked,undervalued or undercounted. For instance, women’s participation in unpaid domesticduties in not recognised under the System of National Accounts (SNA).Chapter 7 showed that there were 6.7 million persons in the labour force, of which 47percent were females. Women constituted the majority (60 percent) of the populationthat was not working. The chapter further showed that there were big genderdifferentials in the activity status and occupation.10.2.1 Economic Activity Status CategoryFigure 10.4 shows that the majority (66 percent) of the working women (aged 14 – 64ears) were unpaid family workers. This has far reaching implications on theempowerment of women since they are economically active but do not earn anincome. Only 10 percent of the working women were in paid employment.128

However, the men dominate in all the other majoroccupations and were engaged in the generally better paying professions as shownby UNHS 2002/03. Efforts should be made to increase the skills of women so thatthey can effectively compete in the job market. This will also increase theirproductivity and their contribution to national development.129
