Employment in the informal economy KILM 8 KILM 8: Employment in the Informal Economy Definition Employment in the informal economy is defined as all jobs in informal sector enterprises or all persons who, during a given reference period, were employed in at least one informal enterprise, irrespective of their status in employment and whether it was their main job or a secondary job. Where, informal sector is units of production within unincorporated enterprises owned by household. Uses Employment in the informal sector relates the estimated number of persons employed in the informal sector to the total number of employed persons. In terms of size and growth, the informal sector is an important part of economic, social and political life in most developing, as well as some developed economies. In countries with high rates of population growth or urbanization, the informal economy tends to absorb most of the growing labour force. The indicator represents an attempt to capture labour market situations that are inadequately covered by other indicators, such as the unemployment rate and time-related underemployment. Statistics on informal employment are essential to obtaining a clear idea of the contributions of all workers, women in particular, to the economy. The dominant aspect of the informal economy is self employment. It is an important source of livelihood for women in the developing world, especially in those areas where cultural norms bar them from work outside the home or where, because of conflict with household responsibilities, they cannot undertake regular employee working hours. Limitations The international comparability of the indicator is affected by national differences in definitions and coverage. Problems with data comparability result especially from the following factors: differences in data sources; differences in the criteria used to define the informal sector, for example, size of the enterprise or establishment versus non-registration of the enterprise or the worker; inclusion or exclusion of paid domestic workers; inclusion or exclusion of persons who have a secondary job in the informal sector but whose main job is outside the informal sector, e.g. in agriculture or in public service. Trends The shares of informal economy employment for the years 1999 -2010 are provided in table 10 and figure 9 below. As it can be seen from table 10, the proportion of working population in the informal sector showed significant decline from 72.8% in 1999 to 33.3% in 2010. Throughout these periods the 16
