The employed comprise all persons of working age who, during a specified brief period, were in one of the following categories: a) paid employment (whether at work or with a job but not at work); or b) self-employment (whether at work or with an enterprise but not at work). They should include all of those who are resident within the country and exercise an economic activity for a certain period of time, regardless of legal residency status or citizenship. Employed migrants refer to individuals who changed their country of usual residence and were employed during a specified brief period. Data are disaggregated by sex and status in employment according to the latest version of the International Standard Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-93). Status in employment refers to the type of explicit or implicit contract of employment the person has with other persons or organizations. The basic criteria used to define the groups of the classification are the type of economic risk and the type of authority over establishments and other workers which the job incumbents have or will have.
