+ ## TL;DR
30
+
31
+ This dataset contains **8,654 observations** of `Other measures of labour underutilization` data across **32 Africa countries**, spanning **1996–2025**, covering **1 distinct indicators**.
32
+
33
+ ## About the source
34
+
35
+ **ILOSTAT** is the ILO's central statistics database, the leading global source for labour statistics. It compiles indicators across employment, unemployment, wages, working time, child labour, informal economy, social protection, occupational injuries, and SDG decent work targets — drawing on national labour force surveys, household income surveys, establishment surveys, and administrative records. Coverage spans 200+ economies, with the ILO's Department of Statistics responsible for harmonisation.

41
+
42
+ ## Methodology
43
+
44
+ Data pulled directly from the ILOSTAT REST API at `https://rplumber.ilo.org/data/indicator?id=LUU_XLU2_SEX_AGE_GEO_RT` and filtered to Africa ISO3 country codes. ILOSTAT harmonises raw survey microdata using ICLS (International Conference of Labour Statisticians) definitions; sources are flagged in the `source.label` column for traceability.

+ ## Disaggregation dimensions
101
+
102
+ The following columns provide disaggregation dimensions:
103
+ - **`sex`** (3 unique values): `SEX_T`, `SEX_M`, `SEX_F`
104
+
105
+ ## Data quality & caveats
106
+
107
+ - Data is annual frequency. Some indicators also publish monthly or quarterly series — those are not included here.
108
+ - When an indicator has multiple sources for the same country×year, the ILO-selected 'best source' is used.
109
+ - Disaggregation columns (`sex`, `classif1`, `classif2`) are non-null only when the indicator publishes that breakdown.
110
+
111
+ ## Usage
112
+
113
+ ```python
114
+ from datasets import load_dataset
115
+
116
+ ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ilo-luu-xlu2-sex-age-geo-rt-combined-rate-of-time-related-underemployment-and")
117
+ df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
118
+ print(df.head())
119
+ ```
120
+
121
+ ### Filter to one country
122
+
123
+ ```python
124
+ kenya = df[df["ref_area"] == "KEN"]
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ ### Time-series for a single indicator
128
+
129
+ ```python
130
+ sample = (df[df["indicator"] == "LUU_XLU2_SEX_AGE_GEO_RT"]
131
+ .sort_values("time"))
132
+ sample.plot(x="time", y="obs_value", title="LUU_XLU2_SEX_AGE_GEO_RT")
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ ### Pivot to country × year matrix
136
+
137
+ ```python
138
+ matrix = (df[df["indicator"] == "LUU_XLU2_SEX_AGE_GEO_RT"]
139
+ .pivot_table(index="time", columns="ref_area", values="obs_value"))
140
+ print(matrix.tail())
141
