==== ASM Population in French Guyana: 7,000 ====
//(Note: French Guyana is an overseas department/region of France, fully integrated in the French Republic)//
\\
\\
UBC-14 data is only statistically calculated but due to lack of other data, the estimation of **7,000** remains the best available guess.\\
Min/max: Due to lack of primary field data **+/- 3,000** appears reasonable. This would come close to ILO-99 \\
Female participation: With rather garimpo-type mining, participation of women is likely low: **500**.\\
Gold: **All** data are for ASGM.  


==== Data sources for estimation ====

===2018:  ===
IGF-18 and ARM-18 replicate earlier data

===2014: 7,000 ===
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling: \\
  Expected ASM population: 20,000 - 7,000 
  Estimated ASM gold production: 3.6 t/a

===1999: 7,500 ===
(ILO-99): Employment: 5,000 - 10,000\\
Number of mines: n/a \\
Illegal mines:n/a \\
