Employment indicators have improved further over the past year, but detailed data from INSTAT shows that unpaid employment in family business has expanded much more than paid employment.
In the Labor Force Survey, which measures the official indicator of employment, persons who are engaged in family businesses, but who are not paid, are also considered employed.
In 2022, 279,542 people were reported to be employed in the family business without pay, or 28 thousand people more than in 2021.
On the other hand, the number of salaried employees reached 610,774 people in 2022 or 12,898 people more than in 2021.
As can be seen, unpaid employment has grown twice as much as paid employment and is the largest contributor to employment growth last year.
Unpaid self-employed people in family businesses account for 20% of total employment and belong to the self-employed category. The number of self-employed persons reached about 408 thousand in 2022, but most of them, about 68%, were employed without pay.
Earlier analyzes on informality in the labor market show high levels of undeclared work among the self-employed. The sector with the largest self-employment without wages is agriculture.
The analysis of employment by group-professions reflects the structure of employment by sectors.
