What the data measures
Share of people aged 15 and older who are employed, from the ILO modeled estimates series.
ILO calculates employed people as a percentage of the working-age population and combines reported observations with modeled estimates. Employment includes work for pay or profit.
Coverage & limitations
217 registered national countries and reporting economies · 2000–2025 (available years vary by series)
- The denominator is population aged 15+, not the labor force. This is not one minus the unemployment rate.
- This modeled ILO series can differ from national survey releases.
- WDI does not identify every imputed observation in this response. Cross-country ranking and comparison are disabled because ILO warns against comparing imputed observations.
- A higher ratio does not by itself establish better jobs or working conditions.
