Employment indicators 2000–2019. Global and regional trends

The FAOSTAT Employment indicators domain focuses on indicators related to employment in agriculture and rural areas. The data provides information on the status in employment, divisions of agriculture and hours worked of the people employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing and in rural areas by sex and age whenever possible. 

FAOSTAT updates the employment indicators yearly, using data from the International Labour Organization (ILO) database that contains a rich set of indicators from a wide range of topics related to labour statistics.

The latest analytical brief presents the latest data update for the period 2000-2019. According to the available data, employment in agriculture declined globally from 1 billion people in 2000 to 883 million in 2019. Yet, agriculture remains the second highest source of employment worldwide after the services sector with 26.7 percent of total employment.
