Employment includes formal, informal, family, farm, and other qualifying work under the ILO definition. A high employment rate does not necessarily indicate high incomes or good job quality. This is the share of all people aged 15 and older who are employed. It is not the unemployment rate and is not calculated as 100 minus unemployment.
