Share of informally employed by country of the world

Hello, where is the data on the share of informally employed in all countries of the world in dynamics by year from as early a period as possible? Thank you in advance. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 10:44, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your question makes no sense. What do you mean by "informally employed" or "dynamics"? Anyway you might like to start by referring to Employment-to-population_ratio#Employment-to-population_ratio_in_the_world and follow relevant links from there.

Informal employment redirects to Informal economy. See also Gig worker and Precariat. --Lambiam 22:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You should dig around this page from the International Labor Organization and see if you can find what you're looking for. Xuxl (talk) 14:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the definition has not been consistently applied the same way in different countries and has been subject to revision and refinement, which may make comparisons somewhat iffy. --Lambiam 22:13, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I'll take a look! --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bear in mind that the concept of informal employment includes the very strong likelihood that such employment is undocumented (no tax paid, no insurance), and hence outside of statistical databases. DOR (ex-HK) (talk) 06:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The ILO is aware of the issue, which is why they have issued an extensive statistical manual on "Measuring Informality". --Lambiam 08:31, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
