Interestingly, the data also show that females particularly dominated the employment section, except for the oldest and youngest age groups, where male recorded higher proprtions. By contrast, male recorded higher figures in the average age of the youngest child

The 26-34 age group lagged slightly behind, with 70% of female and 65% of male figures. However, the youngest and oldest age groups displayed similar trend, with respective figures at 15-20% and 25-35%.

Male children across all age groups, except the youngest, registered similar figures, standing at 70-75%, with the dominance by 16-20 age group (at 75%). While female figures showed relatively lower figures, recording 55% and 60% for 6-10 and 11-15 age groups, respectively. Likewise, two oldest groups showed the same figures at 65%. The youngest groups, in contrast, exhibited 60% for both genders
