1. World wage and salary employment rate

This scene shows the trend of worldwide average wage and salaried workers, % of total employment from 2000 to 2017.
As you can see in the plot, the percentage of worldwide wage and salary workers has been increasing, which imply that the rate of self-employed worker has been decreasing for the last 17 years.

Data used for the scene comes from WDI(World Bank) in realtime by their APIs, not using pre-loaded CSV file.

3. China wage and salary employment rate

What about the China then? Below line chart shows the trend of average wage and salaried workers, % of total employment from 2000 to 2017 in China.
The rate has been increasing for years, but it's just around the world average, not even close to 60%.

Based on what WDI indicator says, we can see that China still has a lot to improve in this category although we should break it down further to know what specific subcategory that China has the most to in self-employment.

4. Russia wage and salary employment rate

I was expecting that Russian should be in similar shape as I already checked with China's data, but it turned out that it's quite different situation for this employment category.
Russia's situation is more like what United States is right now in the chart. But what is this mean?

Both China and Russia have been ruled by communist party for decades, and if what WDI indicator says is true for this wage&salaried workes vs. self-employed, then shouldn't it be China who should has higher rate in the chart than Russia?

About the indicator in WDI:

The indicator of status in employment distinguishes between two categories of the total employed. These are: (a) wage and salaried workers (also known as employees); and (b) self-employed workers. Self-employed group is broken down in the subcategories: self-employed workers with employees (employers), self-employed workers without employees (own-account workers), members of producers' cooperatives and contributing family workers (also known as unpaid family workers). Vulnerable employment refers to the sum of contributing family workers and own-account workers. The series is part of the ILO estimates and is harmonized to ensure comparability across countries and over time by accounting for differences in data source, scope of coverage, methodology, and other country-specific factors. The estimates are based mainly on nationally representative labor force surveys, with other sources (population censuses and nationally reported estimates) used only when no survey data are available.
