Data sources for estimation
2018: 65,000
(ARM-18), Table Annex 3: 65,000
Based on ARM (2018): https://www.responsiblemines.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Rwanda_case_study.pdf : 65,000
“In 2014, the mining sector reported having approximately 34,000 direct employees. With an estimated number of four family members per miner, 170,000 Rwandans (approximately1.5% of the total population) are directly dependent upon the sector. Because miners are mostly casual workers and the study estimated that the actual number of individual persons directly involved in mining was on a seasonal basis, the number of employees may well have risen as high as 65,000 in 2014.”
2014: 73,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 73,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 1.2 t/a
1999: 10,000
(ILO-99): Employment: 5,000 - 15,000
Number of mines: n/a
Illegal mines: n/a
