The occupation structure of Darenth, represents a clear divide of male and female work, the dominant structure for males is the Agricultural sector, in comparison to the females where Domestic services were dominant. Agriculture is the most common sector for males because it requires low-skilled and manual labour, this is also a reflection of the area it is in. Occupation structure is limited within the female community, often, females did not have paid work or the work was informal, thus explaining the 344 women who's occupation was either unknown or unemployed. The largest formal work undertaken by females was within domestic services , employing 115 women. Domestic services were most common within the female occupation structure, because the jobs which they were allowed to do were limited.
