Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (modeled ILO estimate)
Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (modeled ILO estimate) in Switzerland was 84.90 as of 2021. Its highest value over the past 31 years was 85.51 in 2019, while its lowest value was 70.25 in 1991.
Definition: Labor force participation rate is the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is economically active: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate is calculated by dividing female labor force participation rate by male labor force participation rate and multiplying by 100.
