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

This indicator reflects the proportion of the workforce engaged in self-employment roles, specifically those individuals who operate independently or alongside a small group of partners. These employers not only earn income based on the profits generated from their businesses but also play a crucial role in job creation by consistently employing one or more individuals in employee positions. This dynamic is essential to understanding the entrepreneurial landscape within an economy, highlighting how self-employed individuals contribute to overall employment levels. By gauging the prevalence of such employers, policymakers can better assess economic health and develop targeted strategies to support growth, innovation, and sustainable job creation in various sectors.
