Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey 2 (EICV 2)

Datasource: 
Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV)
Period: 
June, 2005 to September, 2005

By EICV2 the proportion had reduced to 71%, a reduction of some 14%. In contrast the proportion of people working as paid employees has increased between the datasources, as have the numbers running small non-farm enterprises. Increases in non-farm activities over the five year period are also marked, with a doubling of those working in waged non-farm jobs and a quadrupling of those working in non-farm family enterprises.

In proportionate terms the numbers are small, but given that the number of subsistence farmers has remained static, the increase in the rural workforce of some half a million has largely been absorbed by waged farm work and non-farm work.

LABOUR MARKET AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY TRENDS IN RWANDA: Analysis of the EICV2 Survey

Activity rates have fallen both for children and for adults. The main reason for the fall in rates is that a higher proportion of children and young adults are in full time education. Some 1.2% of the adult population was unemployed, that is not working but seeking work in the long reference period of 12 months, this is 0.2% higher than the corresponding figure in 2000/01.
