Figure 4 : The respondents according to employment status
Source: RGB-CRC 2015 Survey primary data
The figure above shows the distribution of respondents according to the employment
status. 80.2% of the respondents are farmers and 3.9% are self employed. This shows
that the largest number of respondents lives mainly in rural areas where farmers are
predominant. This hypothesis can be confirmed by the EICV 4 findings which stresses
that about 85% of the Rwandan population lives in the rural area and females are
more engaged in farming activities than males (66.4% of females self employed in
agriculture against 53.5% of males) 4 .

and 11.9% of the respondents did not know their ”ubudehe” category, most likely
(there are still in the appeals process.)
