Note: Prof./Tech./Manag. refers to professional, technical, and managerial occupations. Total includes men with missing
information on occupation who are not shown separately.
The age pattern of occupation varies by the type of work. The proportion of women and men
currently working in agriculture increases with age, whereas the opposite is true for those working in
sales and services. The majority of women working in agriculture are made up of currently married
women and those who have many children.
As expected, rural women and men are more likely to be employed in agriculture; 69 percent of
women and 94 percent of men living in the rural areas work in agriculture. On the other hand, 53
percent of urban women and 30 percent of urban men are employed in sales and services.
