Female Youth School Enrollment and Employment Rates in Latin America

LAC Equity Lab provides a dataset on the share of the female population aged 19-24 that is simultaneously in school and employed. The data originates from the World Bank platform under the Social Protection and Labor thematic area. Specific details on row count, temporal coverage, and last update are not provided.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between female youth employment and continued education using the 'share' metric.
• Track changes in the female youth 'in school and employed' rate over time for policy evaluation.
• Compare the 'share' metric across different countries or regions within the LAC region.
• Model the impact of economic or educational policies on the target female demographic (ages 19-24).

Strengths

• Data is produced by a major international institution, the World Bank.
• Focuses on a specific and policy-relevant demographic: females aged 19-24.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, temporal range, and update frequency are unknown.
• No column-level information or sample data is available for validation.
• Geographic coverage is implied but not explicitly defined, potentially limiting generalizability.
