We build jobs frameworks that capture direct, indirect, and induced employment as well as quality dimensions. This includes FTE estimation, dignified youth work, women’s economic empowerment in jobs, and green jobs markers. We provide practical tools and training so partners can report jobs metrics with confidence and consistency.
Jobs Measurement
Jobs reporting your ministries and investors can defend.
Jobs numbers are easy to inflate and easy to challenge. We build frameworks where the methods are visible and the totals hold.

- FTE estimation using time-based and activity-based methods
- Quality markers: dignified youth work, women's economic empowerment, green jobs
- Practical data collection tools and training

How we work
-
Pick the boundaries
Direct, indirect, induced — agree them with the donor and your board.
-
Build the data flow
From field to dashboard, with audit trail.
-
Estimate and quality-check
FTE, multipliers, sensitivity, and the limits of each number.
-
Report and defend
A slide brief for the meeting and a methods note for the auditor.
Why Merstat
- Methods documented and reproducible
- Quality markers visible in the data, not the narrative
- Donor-aligned reporting that survives technical audit
