Female labor force participation rate SL.TLF.CACT.FE.ZS

Overview
Togo's female labor participation stood at 56.64% in 2025, a rise of +0.03pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 57.02% by 2026. Togo ranked 68th globally.
Togo’s female labor participation has risen modestly but steadily over the 36‑year span from 1990 to 2025, moving from 54.24 % in the earliest year to a peak of 56.64 % in 2025, which also represents the country’s current level and places it 68th globally. This gradual increase of roughly 2.4 percentage points contrasts with the relatively higher participation rates of peers such as Georgia (56.70 %) and Cameroon (56.59 %), suggesting that while Togo is closing the gap, it remains marginally below the leading peers. The upward trajectory reflects broader regional efforts to improve women’s access to formal and informal employment, yet the modest pace indicates persistent structural constraints, including limited childcare services and gendered occupational segregation. If policy reforms expand vocational training for women and strengthen workplace protections, the upward trend could accelerate, potentially moving Togo into the top‑sixty rankings in the coming decade.
