35 reference years (1991–2025), covering 182 to 187 countries, produced by the ILO and pulled through the World Bank’s indicator API (SL.EMP.VULN.ZS). Own-account and contributing family workers as a share of all employment — the jobs least likely to carry a formal arrangement, social protection or any safety net, and the readable half of the self-employment figure. ⚠ IT MEASURES THE TERMS OF WORK, NOT THE ABSENCE OF IT: a country can have almost everyone in work and most of them here, which is why it says something neither the unemployment rate nor the employment ratio can. ⚠ MODELLED, not measured. ⚠ The ILO ranks nobody, so no rank is stored; the POSITION on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score and labelled as ours.

Own-account and contributing family workers as a share of all employment — an ILO modelled estimate served through the World Bank's indicator API (SL.EMP.VULN.ZS). These are the jobs least likely to carry a formal arrangement, social protection or any safety net, which is what makes this the readable half of the self-employment figure. ⚠ It measures the TERMS of work, not the absence of it: a country can have almost everyone in work and most of them here. The ILO does not rank countries on it, so no rank is stored and none is derived.
