There have been a major land mark in tracking changes in the labor market in Rwanda. The Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV) of the NISR measure changes in the labor market between EICV 1 and EICV 2 conducted in 2000/01 and 2005/06 respectively. It also linked employment with other social and economic characteristics of the population like education, living conditions etc. 

Activity rates for adults have fallen from 85.8% in 2001 to 83.1% in 2006 as indicated in table 11-1. The main reason for the fall in rates is that a higher proportion of young adults are in full time education.
