2 Labour Force and Employment in Guyana The labour force is defined as the number of persons above a given age limit who are either employed or actively seeking employment. An analysis of this supply of labour is therefore important for business planning and for policy formulation at the macro level. The age limit for inclusion in the labour market usually varies among different counties, providing a challenge for comparative analyses. In Guyana, as in most Caribbean countries, the age limit is 15 years, while in Jamaica and the US, the limits are 14 years and 16 years respectively. Recently released demographic details collected at the Neighbourhood Democratic Council level during the 2002 Census have made possible the construction of the following profile of the Guyana labour market. Prior to this, the most recent information available was for Data for earlier periods, and for the selected Caribbean countries included, was obtained from the International Labour Organization s statistical database. This examination is limited to the basic features of the labour market and comparisons with other Caribbean countries. Future bulletins will examine the utilization of labour across regions and sectors as well as the relative sizes of occupational groups. The Guyana Labour Market in 2002 The labour force in Guyana in 2002 consisted of 263,149 persons who were 15 years or over. Of these, the number of males was 182,226 or almost 70% of the labour force. The total number of females was 80,923 or 30.8% of the labour force.

3 The total number of employed persons was 232,409 or 88.3% of the labour force, while 30,740 persons or 11.7% of the labour force were unemployed and actively seeking work. The unemployment rate for females was well above the national average at 15.1%, while the rate for males was 10.1% of the male labour force. Due, however, to the significantly higher number of males than females in the labour force, these rates translated into a higher total of unemployed males than females. In 2002, 18,484 males and 12,256 females were unemployed. Regional Distribution The size of the labour force varied widely across the ten regions of Guyana. Region 4, with its larger population, also provided the largest labour force at 119,342 persons or 45.4% of the country total. (see Fig. 1) Regions 3 and 6 also fielded relatively large labour forces at 13.6% and 14.8% respectively, while Regions 1,2,5, and 7-10 together accounted for just over a quarter of the total labour force. Regional Distribution of Guyana's Labour Force, 2002 Region 2, 16,309 Region 3, 35,876 Region 1, 6,653 Region 10, 14,164 Region 9, 6,171 Region 8, 3,551 Region 7, 6,312 Region 6, 38,867 Region 4, 119,342 Region 5, 15,904 Figure 1 Gender disparities were also evident in the geographic distribution of the labour force across the ten regions of Guyana. The disparity was least pronounced in Regions 4 and 10 where females constituted relatively large percentages of the labour force. Region 6, however, with the second largest labour force, had the lowest ratio of females to males. (see Fig. 2) Private Sector Commission 2

Unemployment in Region 4, at 11.8%, was close to the national average while total unemployment in Region 8, which has the smallest labour force, reached 19.5%. Region 9 had the lowest unemployment rate with 7.2% of its labour force, or 445 persons, not working.

In Region 8, for example, 25.9% of the female labour force were unemployed while the jobless rate for women in Regions 2 and 1 reached 25.5% and 23.4% respectively. (see Table 1) Private Sector Commission 3

5 Generally, the unemployment rate for females was highest in regions with small workforces, resulting in a relatively low overall female rate of 15.1%. Labour Force and Employment Trends The size of the Guyana labour force grew from 182,171 persons in 1970 to 275,390 in By 1992, an additional 2,688 persons had entered the market despite a 2% decline in the adult population.

This caused the unemployment rate to increase from 15.4% to 16.8% in The period 1980 to 1986, however, saw an expansion of the labour force by 18.9% or 43,843 persons while the number of jobs increased by 24.5% or 47,180 reducing the level of unemployment to 12.9%.

6 During the period 1986 to 1992, 5,677 jobs were created, more than twice the number of persons who entered the labour force. This resulted in a further lowering of the unemployment rate to 11.7%. From 1992 to 1997, the labour force declined by 5.1% from 278,078 to 263,807, but employment declined at a slower rate of 2.3% from 245,492 to 239,847. These factors led to a significant reduction of the unemployment rate to 9.1%. Figure 5 shows the relationship between labour force and employment growth from 1970 to The downward trend of both the labour force and employment continued from 1997 to 2002 but, while the labour force declined by only 0.2%, the number of jobs fell by 3.1% to 232,409 increasing the unemployment rate to the 1992 level of 11.7% % 2 Growth Rates of Labour Force and Employment in Guyana between 1970 to 2002 (absolute % change from beginning to end of each period) 27.1% 25.0% 24.5% 18.9% 15.0% 1 5.0% -5.0% % 1.0% -2.3% -3.1% -5.1% -0.2% 1970 to to to to to 2002 Labour Force Employment Figure 5 Gender Distribution of the Labour Force 1970 to 2002 From 1970 to 1992, the proportion of females in the labour force increased steadily from a 1970 level of 19% in 1970 to 39.3% in By 2002, however, females accounted for only 30.8% of the labour force.

7 Labour Force Participation in Guyana, 1970 to 2002 The labour force participation rate measures the proportion of the eligible population which is either working or able and willing to work. In Guyana, the labour force participation rate from 1970 to 1986 followed the increasing trend of the labour force and the adult population, moving from 49.2% of the population in 1970 to 57.5% in In 1992, however, the adult population declined by 2% to 467,173 but the number of persons entering the labour force increased by almost 1% to 278,078. This occasioned an increase in the labour force participation rate to 59.5% of the potential work force. By 2002, the potential work force had recovered to 476,682, almost back to the 1986 level of 476,783 but the labour force had contracted to 263,149 or 55.2% of the population.

9 For each country the male labour force grew between 1997 and 2002 but a significant decline in the female labour force in both Guyana and Jamaica led to a decline in the total labour force. In Guyana, a 12.9% decrease in the number of females available for work in 2002 caused a.02% decline in the size of the overall total. In Jamaica, where there is a lower disparity in the gender composition of the work force, a 6.4% decrease in the number of females, and a 0.7% increase in the number of males, occasioned a 2.6% decline in the overall labour force. (see Fig. 9) Labour Force Growth - Selected Caribbean Countries 1997 to % Males Females Total 11.7% 1 6.2% 4.8% 6.6% 6.3% 5.0% 5.6% 0.7% 8.4% -0.2% -2.6% -5.0% -6.4% % -15.0% Barbados Guyana Jamaica Trinidad & Tobago Figure 9 Sources: Data Extracted from ILO Caribbean Labour Statistics & Bureau of Statistics, Guyana, NDC Census Data Table 14 Gender Distribution of the Labour Force in Selected Caribbean Economies, 2002 In 2002, the economies of Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago showed significant improvements towards a lessening of the gender disparities of the labour force while those of Guyana and Jamaica showed an increase in disparity. In Barbados, for example, women accounted for almost half of the labour force. In contrast, the proportion of females in Guyana s labour force contracted to just 30.8% of the total. (see Fig. 10) In Jamaica, despite a 6.4% decline in the number of females entering the labour market, women still accounted for 44.1% of the total. Private Sector Commission 8

Gender Distribution of Unemployment in the Caribbean in 2002 Unemployment among females in Guyana declined by 7.9% from 1997 to 2002, but the number of jobless males increased over the same period by 73.3% to 18,500. This resulted in males constituting more than 60% of the total unemployed labour force. Private Sector Commission 9

11 This phenomenon was in stark contrast to the other Caribbean economies examined where unemployment was higher among females in In Jamaica, for instance, females constituted 61.7% of the total number of unemployed persons. (see Fig. 12) Distribution of Unemployment by Gender, % 39.9% 61.7% 54.3% % 60.1% 38.3% 45.7% Figure 12 Males Barbados Guyana Jamaica Trinidad & Tobago Females Labour Force Participation in Selected Caribbean Countries, 1997 to 2002 In 2002, Guyana had the lowest labour force participation rate among the Caribbean countries examined. At 55.2% the rate was significantly lower than that of Trinidad & Tobago, the country with the next lowest rate of participation. (see Fig. 13) Labour Force Participation Rates in Selected Caribbean Countries, 2002 (i.e. % of over-15 population able and willing to work) % 1, % 66.5% 63.6% 60.3% 60.9% 2, % Barbados Guyana Jamaica Trinidad & Tobago Note: Data for Guyana 1997 not available; Jamaica - over 14 population Figure 13 International Labour Force Participation Rate A comparison of labour force participation rates across the globe in 2001, as compiled by the International Labour Organization, is depicted in Figure 14, while the global gaps between participation rates for males and females are shown in Figure 15.
