   Its statistic page, and every profile it measures

   /statistics/agriculture-employment

From the ILO’s modelled estimates via the World Bank’s indicator API (SL.AGR.EMPL.ZS). Modelled rather than measured, so one definition applies to all 187 countries instead of 187 national ones — that is what makes the comparison possible and each figure an estimate.
