Labour market

World · Labour force

People aged 15 and over who are employed or unemployed, ILO definition (ILO modelled estimates, published by the World Bank). Harmonised estimates, not the national survey figures.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Labour force: people aged 15 and over who are employed or unemployed, ILO definition. ILO modelled estimates (published by the World Bank), harmonised across countries and filled where surveys are missing: they differ from the national survey figures on the country cards.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: World Bank, World Development Indicators· Published Nov 11, 2026
