The results show that the age range used is 15 to 65 years, which we call the Población Económicamente Activa PEA, with an average age of 39.46 years for women and 39.71 years for men. The distribution of ethnic self-identification among the employed population shows a strong concentration in the mestizo category, which includes 93.03% of women and 91.76% of men. This confirms the predominance of mestizo identity in the country's sociodemographic structure and, consequently, within the workforce.
