Quarterly telecom-sector employment for Rwanda from Table 36 (Section 5) of the RURA ICT Sector Statistics Report. The workforce of around 2,150 people across roughly two dozen licensed operators is cross-tabulated three ways: by contract type (temporary, permanent, and outsourced), by gender (female and male), and by origin (domestic and foreign). Two patterns stand out. Outsourcing is heavy: about two in five telecom jobs are held by outsourced staff rather than direct employees, a share that has eased from roughly 44 to 40 percent. And the sector remains male-dominated, with women holding a little over a third of the jobs. MTN and Airtel together account for most of the headcount. Table 36 is a snapshot dated "as of {Month} {Year}", so each report contributes one quarter and the series is assembled from the run of reports, preferring the most recent report for any restated quarter. RURA compiles the figures from licensed operators.
