They are usually remunerated at a reduced rate compared to fully qualified workers. They include persons involved in:
--111. paid formal or informal traineeships, apprenticeships, internships or other types of programmes, according to national circumstances; and
--111. paid skills training or retraining schemes within employment promotion programmes, when engaged in the production process of the economic unit for which they work.

  == E. Contributing family workers ==
  **57. **//Contributing family workers// assist a family member or household member in a market-oriented enterprise operated by the family or household member, or in a job in which the assisted family or household member is an employee or dependent contractor. They do not receive regular payments, such as a wage or salary, in return for the work performed, but may benefit in kind or receive irregular payments in cash as a result of the outputs of their work through family or intra-household transfers, derived from the profits of the enterprise or from the income of the other person. They do not make the most important decisions affecting the enterprise or have responsibility for it.
