7 in 10 workers are self employed ilo report

I think there may be a mistake here!

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the report you're referring to is likely the "ILO Global Estimates on Informal Employment and Entrepreneurship" (2016). According to this report, the percentage of workers who are self-employed is actually around 21%, not 70%.

Here's a breakdown of the ILO's estimates:

• Informal employment: 61.2% of the global workforce (around 2.1 billion people)
• Self-employment: 21.1% of the global workforce (around 1.1 billion people)
• Formal employment: 38.8% of the global workforce (around 1.4 billion people)

So, while a significant proportion of workers are self-employed, it's not 7 in 10.
