This indicator reveals the proportion of economically active children aged 7 to 14 who are engaged in service sector employment, categorized under the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). This sector encompasses a diverse array of activities such as retail trade, hospitality, transportation, financial services, real estate, public administration, and education, reflecting the multifaceted nature of childhood labor. By capturing children involved in economic activities for at least one hour during the survey period, this statistic emphasizes the prevalence of service-oriented roles among young workers. Understanding this trend sheds light on the potential socio-economic pressures faced by families and the implications for child development, education, and overall well-being in various contexts.
