What to keep in mind
- Modelled ILO estimates for both sexes ages 15+. Estimates differ from national survey series.
- Annual 2000–2025 selection; unavailable values remain missing.
- The ILO modelled series includes unlabelled imputed observations with high uncertainty. Country comparisons and rankings are disabled; same-country comparisons retain this caution.
