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

This indicator assesses the proportion of males engaged in vulnerable employment, encompassing those who are contributing family workers and own-account workers relative to the overall male employment landscape. It serves as a critical measure reflecting job quality and security, highlighting instances where men are employed in roles lacking formal contracts or safeguards. A higher percentage suggests increased economic precariousness, which can limit access to social protection and job stability. Understanding this metric is essential for policymakers, as it illuminates the challenges faced by male workers in securing reliable income and offers insights into potential areas for intervention aimed at enhancing employment conditions and expanding opportunities within the labor market.
