Vulnerable employment (SL.EMP.VULN.ZS, modelled ILO estimate) is own-account and contributing-family workers as a share of employment. Latest: 14.35% in 2025.
These jobs usually lack formal contracts and social insurance. A high share is not the same as a low wage, but it is the usual companion of informal work. From 1991 to 2025 (35 years): latest 14.35% (2025), previous year 14.49% (2024); low 14.35% (2025), high 20.80% (1992).
