Definition
People employed in services (ISIC Rev. 4 sections G to U), including trade, transport, hotels and restaurants, finance, public administration, education and health, as a percentage of total employment. ILO modelled estimates, ages 15 and over.
ILO modelled estimates: model outputs that fill years without a survey, not survey results. The latest year is a nowcast and is revised as surveys arrive. Sectors follow ISIC; where a country counts the armed forces, they are in services.
