Respondents by Age
Distribution by age of the respondents, in most of the age
categories, was close among males and females. It is notable that
workforce participation was still the highest among the respondents
of age 30 and above for both males (88.6 percent) and females
(84.1 percent), and as the age increases there are more participants
in the workforce, as stated in the previous study in 1993. The
highest workforce contribution by males (16.5 percent) was in
the age 46-50 category and among females, (16.4 percent), was
in the age 41-45 group (although, in combining the 50+ age groups,
more respondents, 35.3 percent of males and 34.9 percent of female,
are in this category). Some other findings of interest are that
there is a higher participation among females in the 16-20 age
group and that workforce involvement in the age group 31-35 increased
for females and decreased among males from the study conducted
in 1993.
