Contributing family workers, total (% of total employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator reflects the proportion of individuals engaged in self-employment roles within family-run enterprises, highlighting the contribution of household members who actively assist in a business operated by a relative. These workers do not receive formal wages but are integral to the functioning of family businesses, ranging from agriculture to services. Their involvement often indicates the economic reliance on familial networks, particularly in regions with limited formal employment opportunities. Understanding this metric is critical for assessing labor market dynamics and the socio-economic fabric that sustains informal employment, revealing insights into household resilience and strategies for livelihood diversification in various economies.
