Definition and concepts:

This indicator refers to the proportion of females in the total number of persons employed in managerial positions. It is the share of females in (total) management employment. For the purpose of this indicator, it is preferable to refer separately, to senior and middle management only, and to total management (excluding junior management). The share of women tends to be higher in junior management than in senior and middle management, so limiting the indicator to a measure including junior management may introduce bias

Percent

Employment comprises all persons of working age (14-64 years) who, during a short reference period (one week), were engaged in any activity to produce goods or provide services for pay or profit

Employment in management is determined according to the categories of the latest version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08), which organizes jobs into a clearly defined set of groups based on the tasks and duties.

The Uganda National Households surveys (UNHS)

Data collection includes; survey planning, consultative user needs assessment meetings, survey and sampling design, questionnaire development, pretesting and finalization of questionnaires, recruitment and training of field staff, field data collection and capture, data processing, management, checking and analysis, report writing and production. At each stage, the survey conformed to international best practices in survey implementation.

Sample Design:

The sample was designed to allow generation of separate estimates at the national level, for urban and rural areas and for fifteen sub-regions of Uganda. A two-stage stratified sampling design is used. At the first stage, EAs are grouped by districts of similar socio-economic characteristics and by rural-urban location. The EAs were then drawn using Probability Proportional to size.

At the second stage, households which are the ultimate sampling units are drawn using Systematic Random Sampling. The total number of the EAs are selected from the National Population and Housing Census (NPHC) which constituted the sampling frame.

Training and field work:

A team of field supervisors and interviewers are recruited and trained for the main survey. The main approach of the training comprised instructions in relation to interviewing techniques and field procedures, a detailed review of the data collection modules, tests and practice using hand-held Computer Assisted Interviews (CAPI) devices. The training also includes interviews and field practice in selected EAs outside of the main survey sample. Team supervisors are further trained in data quality control procedures and coordination of field activities.

Prior to the main fieldwork, the data collection module are pretested to ensure that the questions are clear, flowing and easily understood by respondents.

The UBOS Act 1998 provides for the development and maintenance of the National Statistical System (NSS) to ensure collection, analysis and publication of integrated, relevant, reliable and timely statistical information.

The indicator provides information on the proportion of women who are employed in decision-making and management roles in Uganda

This indicator’s main limitation is that it does not reflect differences in the levels of responsibility of women in these high- and middle-level positions

Proportion of women in senior and middle management = ((Women employed in ICO 08 categories 11+12+13) / (Persons employed in ICO 08 categories 11+12+13))x 100

And

Proportion of women in management = ((Women employed in ICO 08 category 1) / (Persons employed in ICO 08 category 1)) x 100

Employment comprises all persons of working age (14-64 years) who, during a short reference period (one week), were engaged in any activity to produce goods or provide services for pay or profit.

Trend and independent analysis Hold data validation meetings with stakeholders prior to dissemination

A Guidebook on SDG Labour Market Indicators by the ILO, International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08).

Quality Management is addressed through a series of activities by the UBOS Top management; i. ii. The survey implementation is overseen by a Technical Working Group which is constituted using a multi-sectorial approach. The survey report is reviewed by an experienced team at Management level who are in most cases Directors or Heads of departments.

The UNHS undergo several stages before production and sharing of the final findings. During the Survey implementation.

1. Consultative user needs assessment meetings are held with all key stakeholders.
2. The survey and sampling design generated using scientific methods as recommended by the Census and Survey Rules and Regulations.
3. The questionnaire development follows a multi-stakeholder approach and pretesting helps to establish the relevancy and adequacy of the questions to be used.
4. Senior Supervision is conducted during data collection to ensure that quality data is collected Data editing, cleaning and coding is undertaken before analysis and report writing

Before dissemination, the report is reviewed and quality assured by the Department of Outreach and Quality Assurance at the Bureau

Data availability

UNHS every 3 years

Data disaggregation

Not disaggregated due to insufficient sample.

The data is comparable internationally based on the indicator concepts and definitions adopted by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians.
