Burundi
ASM Population: 60,000
Only recent data is from UBC-14: 91,000 but this seems high for 1,3 t/a. There is also a (small) 3T production. Best guess → 60,000
Min/max: conservatively estimated as +20,000 / -10,000
Female participation: could be potentially 30% → 20,000
Gold: UBC-14 data seems high. perhaps 50,000
Data sources for estimation
2018: 91,000
ARM-18 and IGF-18 replicate UBC-14
2014: 91,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 91,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 1.3 t/a
1999: 10,000
(ILO-99): Employment: 10,000
Number of mines: n/a
Illegal mines (%): n/a
