Employers, male (% of male employment) (modeled ILO estimate)

This indicator reflects the proportion of men in the workforce who are classified as employers, specifically those who establish and operate their own businesses. These individuals engage in self-employment by generating income that is directly tied to the success of their ventures, which involve overseeing operations and managing profits from the goods or services they offer. A defining characteristic is their ability to hire and manage at least one employee on a continuous basis, showcasing their role as job creators. This metric not only highlights the entrepreneurial spirit among men in the labor market but also underscores their contribution to economic growth and employment opportunities within their communities. Understanding this indicator can illuminate trends in male entrepreneurship and workplace dynamics. Source:
