It compiles indicators across employment, unemployment, wages, working time, child labour, informal economy, social protection, occupational injuries, and SDG decent work targets — drawing on national labour force surveys, household income surveys, establishment surveys, and administrative records. Coverage spans 200+ economies, with the ILO's Department of Statistics responsible for harmonisation. - **Source:** [ILOSTAT](https://www.ilo.org/shinyapps/bulkexplorer/?id=EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB) - **Publisher:** International Labour Organization (ILO) - **License:** [cc-by-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - **Topic:** Informal economy ## Methodology Data pulled directly from the ILOSTAT REST API at `https://rplumber.ilo.org/data/indicator?id=EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB` and filtered to Africa ISO3 country codes.

Some indicators also publish monthly or quarterly series — those are not included here. - When an indicator has multiple sources for the same country×year, the ILO-selected 'best source' is used. - Disaggregation columns (`sex`, `classif1`, `classif2`) are non-null only when the indicator publishes that breakdown. ## Usage ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ilo-emp-temp-sex-ifl-ec2-nb-employment-by-sex-informal-formal-job-and-economic") df = ds["train"].to_pandas() print(df.head()) ``` ### Filter to one country ```python kenya = df[df["ref_area"] == "KEN"] ``` ### Time-series for a single indicator ```python sample = (df[df["indicator"] == "EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB"] .sort_values("time")) sample.plot(x="time", y="obs_value", title="EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB") ``` ### Pivot to country × year matrix ```python matrix = (df[df["indicator"] == "EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB"] .pivot_table(index="time", columns="ref_area", values="obs_value")) print(matrix.tail()) ``` ## Citation ```bibtex @misc{africa_ilo_emp_temp_sex_ifl_ec2_nb_employment_by_sex_informal_formal_job_and_economic_2025, title = {Employment by sex, informal/formal job and economic activity - ISIC level 2 (thousands) | Africa (ILOSTAT)}, author = {International Labour Organization (ILO)}, year = {2025}, url = {https://www.ilo.org/shinyapps/bulkexplorer/?id=EMP_TEMP_SEX_IFL_EC2_NB}, publisher = {HuggingFace Datasets, repackaged by Electric Sheep Africa}, howpublished = {\url{https://huggingface.co/datasets/electricsheepafrica/africa-ilo-emp-temp-sex-ifl-ec2-nb-employment-by-sex-informal-formal-job-and-economic}} } ``` ## License Released under [cc-by-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

This dataset contains employment data for Africa from the International Labour Organization (ILO) ILOSTAT database, specifically the indicator Employment by sex, informal/formal job and economic activity - ISIC level 2 (thousands). It covers 42 African countries from 1999 to 2025, with 75,774 observations. The data is disaggregated by sex (total, male, female), job nature (e.g., informal/formal), and economic activity (based on ISIC Rev.4 2-digit classification), supporting tasks such as tabular classification, regression, and time-series forecasting. Sources include national labour force surveys, household income surveys, and others, harmonized by the ILO.
