District wise public sector employment


The table provides district-wise data on employment in the public sector in Kerala, categorized by three branches: State Government, State Quasi (semi-government bodies), and Local Self Government Institutions (LSGI). The data is further divided into the total number of employees and the number of women employees for each branch.
Key Observations:
1.    Total Employment Distribution:
•    Thiruvananthapuram has the highest total employment in all sectors, particularly in State Government jobs (45,760), followed by Ernakulam (23,779), and Thrissur (29,834).

•    Wayanad has the lowest total public sector employment, with only 1,025 employees in the State Government and a similarly low number in the other branches.
2.    Women in Public Sector Employment:
•    Thiruvananthapuram also leads in terms of female employees in all branches, with a high number of women in the State Government (16,456), followed by Thrissur (13,507) and Ernakulam (10,100).

•    Wayanad has the least number of female employees across all sectors, particularly in the State Government (574 women).
3.    State Quasi Jobs:
•    In the State Quasi sector, Kollam has the highest employment (15,536), with an impressive 62.8% of them being women (9,762). This is one of the highest percentages of female employment in any sector across districts.

•    Thiruvananthapuram (26,915) and Ernakulam (17,892) also have a significant number of employees in the State Quasi sector, though their share of women is relatively lower.
4.    Local Self Government Institutions (LSGI):
•    Kozhikode (3,047) and Kannur (2,179) have the largest total employment in LSGI. However, the share of women in this sector is lower compared to the State Government and Quasi sectors.

•    Thiruvananthapuram again leads in terms of total LSGI employees (5,386), but with fewer women (1,980).
5.    Female Representation:
•    Female participation across districts varies significantly. Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram, and Thrissur show higher female employment in State Government and Quasi sectors.
•    Wayanad and Idukki have low female representation across all sectors, reflecting possible barriers to female employment in these regions.


Conclusion:


The data indicates a concentration of public sector jobs in key districts like Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, and Thrissur, with higher employment levels, especially for women, in the State Government and State Quasi sectors. There are significant regional disparities, with districts like Wayanad and Idukki showing lower public sector employment and female participation. These trends likely reflect differences in infrastructure, economic opportunities, and regional development.
