==== ASM Population: 300,000 ====
Total: As ARM-18 is based on a country case study, **300,000** total is considered reliable.\\
Min/max: is therefore estimated at approx. 5%, i.e. **+/- 15,000**.\\
Female ASM population: was estimeted by ARM-18 at 40%, i.e. **120,000**.\\
Gold: Most recent data from GEF-21 -> **30,000** \\

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

===2021: 30,000 ASGM ===
(GEF-21):
  People employed in ASGM: 30,000
  Gold produced (kg/year): 7,000
  Mercury released (kg/year): 18,000

===2018: 300,000 ===
(ARM-18), Table Annex 3: 300,000\\
Based on ARM (2018): https://www.responsiblemines.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Uganda_case_study.pdf : **300,000**\\
"//... the current ASM population is estimated at more than 300,000 women, men and children. Based on women’s high levels of production in certain key sites and minerals, they are currently estimated to comprise approximately 40% of the ASM workforce overall \\
Footnote: Gold: 40,000; 3T: 1,700, limestone: 5,000; stone aggregate: 150,000; sand: 6,000; clay: 93,000; dimension stone: 3,000; and salt: 7,000. Totalling 305,700. As other minerals were not assessed, estimates on 3T minerals and salt have not been updated from 2008 for total ASM employment estimates.//"

===2016: 150,000 ===
(HIL-16): Directly working in ASM: 150,000\\
Estimated number of dependants: 900,000\\

===2014: 218,000 ===
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling: \\
  Expected ASM population: 218,000 
  Estimated ASM gold production: 2.5 t/a

===2013: 196,000 === 
(IIED-13): 196,000 \\

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