    The Panamanian economy has grown rapidly in recent decades, with GDP growth over 7% from 2006-2016, more than double the Latin American average. The largest employment sectors are trade, with over 278,000 workers, and construction, with over 173,000 workers, mostly men. Major ongoing and planned infrastructure projects, like the expansion of the Panama Canal and metro system, are projected to generate over 25,000 new jobs and have multiplier effects on other sectors of the economy. Unemployment rates are lowest for men, who more easily find work in male-dominated sectors like construction.

    MADE BY: MARITZA GUTIERREZ
    DATE: OCTOBER, 18, 2022.
    INTRODUCTION
    In the last decade (2006-2016) Panama has been one of the
    fastest growing economies
    worldwide; during that period, Panama's GDP grew 7.4
    percent, more than double the
    average of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with a rate
    of 2.7 percent according to
    World Bank figures.
    MAIN ECONOMIC
    ACTIVITIES
    In the category of economic activity,
    trade counts With 278,544
    employed people, men represent
    (54.8%) and women (45.2%). It is
    followed by construction, with
    173,495 people employed, men are
    (93.9%) and women (6.1%). It is the
    only category with such a marked
    Difference in gender, this is due to
    the great physical effort involved in
    this activity.
    EMPLOYMENT
    PROJECTIONS FOR
    SECTORS
    In Panama, the main employment niche has been the
    mega work of the construction of the third set of locks,
    creating more than 25,000 jobs throughout its execution.
    Which has a multiplier effect of jobs in the rest
    of the economy, since the expenditure of their salaries
    creates more demand for goods and services. Public
    investments such as the construction of the metro and
    road restructuring They generate an appreciable amount
    of jobs.
    CONCLUSION
    The lowest percentage of unemployed are
    male as men have greater ease of entering the
    labor market by demand for labour in the
    construction sector, Similarly, the trend is
    considered to be due to a cultural theme of
    man being the one who bears the sustenance
    to the home. INFOGRAPHY
