What wage and salaried workers are

This source does not publish this series for this economy. Related figures on this desk still come from the official files.

A gap can reflect missing country or year coverage in the producer's files. Younivi does not fill it with an estimate, interpolation or older value. Check the source link and indicator code below for this economy and year.

Reading this series

This series is the share of total employment made up of wage and salaried workers: people who work for an employer and receive a wage or salary. It comes from World Bank Open Data indicator SL.EMP.WORK.ZS, a modelled ILO estimate. The unit is a percentage of total employment, not a pay level, so a high reading describes how work is organised rather than how well it pays. The remaining share is mostly self-employed people and contributing family workers.

Because the indicator is modelled, its values are estimates built from national surveys, censuses and administrative sources and are revised as new inputs arrive. Coverage and informality definitions differ between economies, so compare direction and broad level rather than small gaps. The chart plots annual observations for the economies you select; the ranked table lists each economy’s latest published year. Read the year label, because economies do not report on the same schedule. Employees in informal jobs are still counted here, so a high share is not a measure of job quality.

About this desk

Taiwan is a comparison desk. World Bank does not publish these labour series for Taiwan, and ILOSTAT earnings coverage is uneven. Only available producer-published observations appear.

Output per worker and employment-share indicators come from World Bank Open Data. The employment shares are ILO-modelled estimates published by the Bank. Each page gives its indicator and source link.

Chart and Table show the same observations. Range buttons change only the displayed years; use Country to switch desks. Each page names its source and licence.
