ascribed to decreased sex-disaggregated
reporting. Monfort (2015) found that when both
the primar y and secondar y sectors of aquaculture
and fisheries were considered, the work force was
evenly divided between men and women.
However, FAO does not collect statistics for the
secondar y sector from Member Countries.
Enhanced statistics on both industrial and small-
scale operators, together with data on the
secondar y post-har vest and ser vice sectors,
would greatly improve the understanding of the
importance of women’s contribution to fisheries
and aquaculture, food securit y and livelihoods. n

Remuneration is one of the most important of the
socio-economic indicators to estimate; in

contribution to livelihoods.
It is estimated that in 2016, overall, women

directly engaged in the fisheries and aquaculture
primar y sector (Box 1), as compared with an
average of 15.2 percent across the reporting
period 2009–2016. The decrease could be partially
