Seychelles: Part time employment, female (% of total female employment)

Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.92 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.88 percentage points in 2018. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 21% of the movement over 8 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.
