Informality is a characteristic of the job, not the worker. These are often jobs without basic social or legal protection and employment benefits. It excludes illegal and illicit activities.","This indicator is particularly important in low- and middle-income countries, where informal employment accounts for a large share of total work and provides a main source of income for many households.","Employment refers to people of working age who worked for at least an hour during the reference period (typically a week), whether in paid employment or self-employment.","This data comes from national sources, typically labor force surveys, household surveys, or population censuses. Each country uses its own definitions and methods, so this data may not be directly comparable across countries and over time.","This data follows the standards of the [13th International Classification of Labour Statisticians (ICLS)](#dod:13-icls). Under this framework, employment includes work for pay or profit, including self-employment, as well as the production of goods for own use (such as subsistence farming). Changes in the definition of employment also affect who is counted as unemployed or outside the labor force. Because definitions were updated under the [19th ICLS](#dod:19-icls), data using the newer definitions is not fully comparable with data based on the 13th ICLS.
