· snapshot · rows: 12 · periods: 4 · section: Women and men (России. 2024)

In 2023, the structure of the inactive population consisted of various groups: it includes those who expressed no desire to work, students, and other categories. Rows are categorized by the reasons why individuals are neither working nor looking for work, showing which categories predominate among women and men. Data are presented in percentages, separately by sex and in the total distribution, without regional breakdown, and pertain to a single year, allowing for a comparison of the inactive population structure between sexes

How to read this table

Comparing the shares of men and women in each category allows for an assessment of the gender gap in the behavior of the working-age population. It shows what proportion of people in each group has no intention of looking for work and how student status or other factors influence this. The figures in the 'Women' and 'Men' columns are comparable, while the total column provides an overall picture of the distribution by sex in percent

What is visible in these numbers

The table is 96% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
