Why This Indicator Matters

Stable employment is crucial for the financial security and well-being of families. When job insecurity leads to income loss, it can disrupt everyday life and affect relationships, making it difficult for families to invest in their children's development. This can ultimately hinder children's academic performance and reduce their chances of future success.
