What the numbers say
In 2025, Honduras' labor force with intermediate education, female (% of female working-age population with intermediate education) fell 7.43 percentage points on 2024 (from 54.25% to 46.82%).

This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.05 percentage points in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 7.43 percentage points in 2025. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 1.08 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 35% of the movement over 9 observed years.
