Abstract

The main focus of this paper is on how two indicators, status in employment and sectoral employment, which are standard ingredients of the economic development discourse and are both part of the ILO's set of Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM), are interlinked empirically and how they can be used to assess labour market vulnerability.
