This profile presents selected labour market data, typically for the latest year available, covering a wide range of key aspects such as labour force participation, employment, labour underutilization, working conditions, social protection, and occupational safety and health. These statistics provide a broad overview of progress toward decent work for all and highlight disparities within the labour market. They contribute to monitoring global efforts to achieve SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality).
