The female unemployment rate is the number of unemployed female population divided by the number of female labor force at the district level, province level, and national level. Some years may use different definitions of unemployed and employed. All definitions of employed, unemployed, and labor force are based on female gender. These distinct definitions are described below:

From 2016 until 2020, the unemployed population includes those who are unemployed but actively searching for work, or unemployed and not searching for work due to being discouraged, or have been accepted for work but have not started it, or already established a new business but have not started it. The employed population includes those who have been working in the last week at least one hour non-stop, or who running their business, or who helping relatives business, or those who are temporarily not working.

From 2001 until 2015, the unemployed population includes those who are unemployed but actively searching for work, or unemployed and not searching for work due to being discouraged, or have been accepted for work but have not started it. The employed population includes those who have been working in the last week at least one hour non-stop, or those who are temporarily not working.

From 1996 until 2000, the unemployed population includes those who are unemployed but actively searching for work, or unemployed and not searching for work due to being discouraged. In 1993 and 1994, the unemployed population are those who were unemployed but actively searching for work.

The definition of Labor Force has been unchanged since 1993 until 2020, wherein we define labor force as people who are either employed or unemployed.

These data are collected from The National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) module from 1993-2020, except for 1995 because there was no survey in that particular year, and 2016, because only province level is available
