How this figure is calculated
ILO - ILO Modelled Estimates — Employment in agriculture - ILO modelled estimates — Female — Value divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
ILO - ILO Modelled Estimates — Employment in agriculture - ILO modelled estimates — Female — Value ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- ILO - ILO Modelled Estimates — Employment in agriculture - ILO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
