Why this indicator matters
यह संकेतक दिखाता है कि काम करने वालों का कितना हिस्सा उद्योग में रोज़ी कमाता है। इससे कारखाने, खान या निर्माण-स्थल की ओर झुके देशों की पहचान होती है, और कृषि अर्थव्यवस्था से सेवा अर्थव्यवस्था की ओर बदलाव को परखा जा सकता है।
What makes this indicator vary
जब कोई देश औद्योगीकरण करता है या विदेशी कारखाने आते हैं, तब यह बढ़ता है। स्वचालन, उत्पादन का दूसरे देशों में चला जाना और सेवाओं का बढ़ना इसे घटाते हैं। खनिज संसाधन और ऊर्जा भी भूमिका निभाते हैं।
Reading precautions
यह लोगों को गिनता है, उत्पादन को नहीं: बहुत स्वचालित उद्योग कम नौकरियों के साथ भी बहुत उत्पादन कर सकता है। कुछ देशों में आम अनौपचारिक रोज़गार को मापना ज़्यादा कठिन होता है।

Which country has the lowest value for "Employment in industry"?
The lowest value is in Burundi, at 3.1 % (2025).
What is the world median value of "Employment in industry"?
The world median is 18.9 %, calculated across 184 countries: half of the countries are above it, the other half below.
What is the value of "Employment in industry" for France?
France scores 19.3 % (2025), ranking 86 out of 184 countries (ranked from highest to lowest).
Where does the "Employment in industry" data come from?
It comes from Banque mondiale – Indicateurs du développement dans le monde (SL.IND.EMPL.ZS). Site last updated: November 8, 2026. Each country is shown with the year of its most recent value.
कौन-से पेशे उद्योग में आते हैं?
उद्योग में कारखाने, खदानें, निर्माण और ऊर्जा उत्पादन आते हैं। दफ़्तर, व्यापार या परिवहन की नौकरियाँ सेवाओं में गिनी जाती हैं, और खेतों का काम कृषि में।
क्या औद्योगिक नौकरियाँ घटने का मतलब कम उद्योग है?
हमेशा नहीं। मशीनें और रोबोट कम कर्मचारियों के साथ उतना ही उत्पादन करना संभव बनाते हैं। इसलिए औद्योगिक उत्पादन बना रहने पर भी रोज़गार का हिस्सा घट सकता है।
