Because these surveys target people rather than firms, they are able to cover self-employment and employment in all types of enterprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enterprises from all size classes: micro-enterprises (with 2 to 9 employees), small enterprises (with 10 to 49 employees), and medium-sized\/large enterprises (with 50 or more employees);<\/li>\n<li>Enterprises from the informal as well as the formal sector;<\/li>\n<li>Enterprises from agriculture, industry, and services (including public services).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the employment contribution of the self-employed and of micro-, small, and medium-sized\/large enterprises have been estimated for such a large group of countries \u2013 in particular, for low- and medium-income countries. Previous studies (e.g. ILO and GIZ, 2013) were hampered by a lack of data on the self-employed and micro-enterprises, which made it very difficult to obtain reliable estimates and to compare properly the employment shares of the various types of economic units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Global evidence on the contribution to employment by the self-employed, micro-enterprises, and SMEs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This report examines worldwide evidence of the contribution that the self-employed and enterprises of different size classes make to total employment.
