Brunei Darussalam: Part time employment, female (% of total female employment)

Key figures

Over five years it is down 6.63 percentage points from 19% in 2020. Since 2014 it is down 4.86 percentage points from 17.23% in 2014. The World Bank has no value for 2 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.93 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.6 percentage points in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2017 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 9% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
