Data on employment rates of craft occupations for men aged 15-64 around the world (percentage of working-age males in the employed population) and a graph of the top countries

Abstract

According to 2020 data, Brazil has the highest employment rate in craft occupations among men aged 15-64 at 19.2%, highlighting the significant size of Brazil’s craft industry. In Brazil, craft professions are rooted in traditional skills and local industries, and many men are employed in this field. This is thought to be due to Brazil’s rich natural resources and diverse cultural background. Historically, Brazilian craft professions have shown a history of adapting flexibly to economic fluctuations and technological advances. In particular, different craft techniques have emerged in each region, which in turn creates employment opportunities. In addition, there is high demand for craft products both at home and abroad and they contribute to exports, so the employment rate of craft workers remains high. The high employment rate in craft occupations compared to other countries is due to the fact that crafts are traditional occupations and are closely linked to the local economy. In contrast, in many developed countries, manufacturing and service industries dominate, and employment rates for craft occupations tend to be relatively low. For this reason, the employment rate of craft occupations in Brazil is unique.

Employment rate of men aged 15-64 in craft occupations (percentage of working-age males in the workforce)

Employment in craft occupations among men aged 15-64 in Romania peaked at 41.4% in 2000 but has now fallen to 60.7%. This peak reflects a period when Romania’s craft industry was booming and offering extensive employment opportunities. Crafts played an important role in traditional handicraft production and in the local economy, with many men employed in this sector. Between 1981 and 2020, employment rates in craft occupations in Romania have shown fluctuations. The background to this is that economic transformation and changes in the market have led to a shift in the relative importance of craft industries. The rapid growth in the late 1990s and early 2000s was associated with economic reforms and greater access to international markets, while the subsequent decline was likely influenced by the expansion of manufacturing and services sectors and globalization. The current employment rate of 60.7% is down from the peak, but still remains high. This shows that crafts remain important industries and that traditional skills are being maintained in many regions, but also that they are undergoing transformation to meet the changing needs of the modern economy.

The maximum is 41.4%[2000] of Romania, and the current value is about 60.7%

Employment rate of craft occupations for men aged 15-64 (percentage of working-age male employed population) (Worldwide)

Employment in craft occupations among Romanian men aged 15-64 peaked at 41.4% in 2000 but has now fallen to 60.7%. This peak marks a time when crafts played an important role in the local economy and many men were employed in craft occupations. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Romania’s craft industry experienced rapid growth due to economic reforms and greater access to international markets. However, in the 21st century, employment rates in craft industries have been gradually declining. This is due to the fact that, as globalization and technological innovation progress, the manufacturing and service industries have grown and the relative importance of crafts has declined. In addition, structural changes in the craft industry are also having an impact as the economy modernizes. Traditional craft skills are still practiced in Romania and many men work in the sector, but their overall employment share is shrinking. The current employment rate of 60.7% is higher than the peak of 41.4%, but it represents a continuing downward trend and reflects the changing position of craft industries in the modern economy. This means that although Romanian crafts remain an important industry, they need to adapt to economic fluctuations and technological innovations.

The maximum is 41.4%[2000] of Romania, and the current value is about 60.7%

Employment rate of craft occupations for men aged 15-64 (percentage of working-age males in the labour force) (world, latest year)

According to 2021 data, employment rates in craft occupations among men aged 15-64 are highest in Moldova at 27.6%, compared to an average of 13.8% and a total of 82.6%. Moldova’s high employment rate indicates that crafts play an important role in the local economy, especially traditional handicraft production. In Moldova, crafts provide many employment opportunities in the economy and play an important role in the local economy. The average employment rate of 13.8% indicates that craft occupations are a relatively minority occupation worldwide, especially in developed countries, where manufacturing and service sectors tend to dominate and crafts are underrepresented. The overall total of 82.6% indicates that craft occupations still offer some employment opportunities in many countries, but this proportion varies widely across regions and countries. Historically, crafts have tended to decline in relative importance as a result of economic modernization and globalization, especially in more industrialized countries. However, it remains an important industry in a region where traditional skills and culture are valued, and continues to provide employment opportunities. In some countries, such as Moldova, crafts make up a major part of the economy, reflecting differences in economic structure from region to region.

The maximum is 27.6% of Moldova, the average is 13.8%, and the total is 82.6%
