| Proportion of informal employment in total employment, by sector and sex | Employment comprises all persons of working age who during a specified brief period, such as one week or one day, performed work for others in exchange for pay or profit. Individuals may have to take up informal employment to ensure their livelihood. In these situations, indicators such as the unemployment rate would provide a very incomplete picture of the labour market situation, overlooking major deficits in the quality of employment. Statistics on informality are key to assessing the quality of employment in an economy and are relevant to developing and developed countries alike.
