Labour Force Indicators by Area | Africa (Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR)

56 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2019-2025 - source table - Engineered by Electric Sheep Africa

TL;DR

This dataset contains 56 rows from Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR, covering Labour Force Indicators by Area. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Labour and workforce datasets help analysts study employment, participation, skills, sectoral structure, and the movement of people through work and livelihoods.

Source-provided context: Summary: This table is part of the Rwanda Labour Force Survey (LFS) 2025 aggregated schema, which compiles quarterly labour market data from 2019 to 2025 to provide a continuous and longitudinal view of workforce dynamics. It presents key labour force indicators disaggregated by area of residence (urban and rural), showing differences in labour market outcomes between the two areas over time. Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, with disaggregation by urban and rural areas. Time Period: Quarterly data from 2019 Q1 to 2025 Q4. Frequency: Quarterly Population/Units: Individuals aged 16 years and above in the labour force. Key Variables: Area of residence (urban/rural), labour force participation, employment, unemployment, and other labour market indicators. Purpose: To support analysis of urban-rural disparities in labour market outcomes, informing policies on regional development, employment, and economic inclusion.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-rwanda-labour-force-indicators-by-area-6cf74665")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "RWA"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• Canonical time field: year.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
