Explanation:

- Adolescent fertility rate: This is a common gender indicator to measure health and welfare related to teenage pregnancies. It is included in the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation's list.

- Proportion of employees who are own-account workers by sex: This shows gender disparity in employment and entrepreneurship, and is used as a gender-relevant metric by the Ministry.

- Proportion of households using clean cooking fuel: This indicator tracks gender impact related to health, empowerment, and household welfare, as women are disproportionately affected by household air pollution. The Ministry lists it as gender relevant.
