Abstract:
The decline in the female labour force participation rate (LFPR) between 1970 and 1980 was notable in the under 20 and 40-45 age groups, especially in rural, agricultural and related occupations, for Bidayuh and Other Indigenous ethnic groups.The decline was in part due to improved data collection, definition of LFPR, and increased retention in the expanding school system. Related to labour force participation are the unemployed, both active and inactive. This chapter showed that compared with males, female unemployment rates were higher in both urban and rural areas in the 10 and over, 10 to 14 and 65 and over age groups.
