Does a person working part time who can't afford their own place to rent (i.e. Live with their parents) count as "employed"? If so, then the sharing economy surely boosts this metric significantly when not actually significantly improving lives.



People are counted as employed if they did any work at all for pay, even if it was just 1 hour a week.
