Abstract:
El objetivo de la presente propuesta es analizar la economía informal y cómo esta participa en la generación de autoempleo en la economía mexicana. Para ello se describen los conceptos del sector informal, la informalidad y la economía informal, y se analizan diferentes indicadores que permiten medir el fenómeno de estudio. En el trabajo de campo se utilizaron fuentes de información secundaria que permitieron identificar el porcentaje de la población ocupada en este sector durante el periodo 2003-2015, constatando así que 13.5 millones de personas formaron parte del sector informal en el año 2014.

Abstract:
Since its very onset, the concept and definition of the informal sector has been a subject of debate both at the national and international levels. Existing literature uses the terms ‘informal sector’ and ‘unorganized sector’ interchangeably. However, in India, the characteristics of enterprises in the informal and non-informal unorganized manufacturing sectors are different and, thus, it is not justifiable to consider the informal and unorganized sector interchangeably for the manufacturing sector. Thus, the objective of this paper is to test the hypothesis on whether or not the total factor productivity growth (TFPG) of the informal manufacturing sector is different from the non-informal unorganized manufacturing sector. TFPG is decomposed into technical efficiency change and technological change. Later, technical efficiency change is further decomposed by pure efficiency change and scale efficiency change. Results show that the average TFPG of the non-informal sector is higher than the informal sector. The informal sector heavily concentrates in own account small enterprises, whereas the non-informal unorganized sector concentrates only in directory manufacturing enterprises (DME). Due to large in size, DME avails the advantages of economies of scale, which, in turn, helps the units for more growth in terms of total factor productivity growth. The main reason for productivity decrease of the enterprises, besides technology regress and the lack of adequate investments, is the limitation of activities and scale along with the optimal allocation of resources. This study provides a basis on how policies can be designed for enhancing the total factor productivity growth of the informal sector.

Abstract:
A quantitative framework of firm dynamics is developed where the size of the informal sector is determined by financial constraints and the burden of taxation. Improving access to credit for formal sector firms increases aggregate total factor productivity and output while reducing the size of the informal sector. Introducing size-dependent taxes reduces the gains from financial development as they incentivize firms to produce at a relatively limited scale. The aggregate effects of eliminating formal sector registration costs are positive but modest relative to previous theoretical models and the gains generated by financial development, and consistent with empirical evidence based on micro-level data.

Abstract:
The need to quantify the impact of the informal sector has thus far not received adequate attention so as to allow policy makers, informal sector enterprises and the formal sector to determine which specific areas of the economy should be further analysed for the purposes of ascertaining the linkages that exist between the formal and informal sectors. In this study, an attempt is made to quantify the linkages between the formal and informal sector, using the 1993 South African Input–Output Table. By disaggregating the formal and informal sectors, it has been possible to determine specific coefficients for both sectors. The “importexport” concept has been used to show how these sectors are interrelated. The multiplier analysis confirms that certain sectors of the informal sector may be more responsive to changes in the final demand than the formal sector.

Abstract:
The aims of the study to understand developments in the Informal and Formal Sector. This study discusses about the development of the informal and formal sectors a theoretical review of the informal and formal sectors, the concept of the informal sector the development of the informal and formal sectors. The informal and formal sectors have been running with their respective growth. The informal sector is a buffer against the transformation of unbalanced labor structures. Included as external factors are: First, that the institutions that support modern formal economic activities. Second, the wage level gap. Discrimination in the level of wages, both by informal institutions, the bureaucracy and the environment of formal economic actors themselves also perpetuates the separation of the two sectors. Third, related to technical-political issues, where political actors do not pay attention to and understand the rapid development of modernization.

Abstract:
This study investigates employment and earnings levels in Tanzania's informal and formal sectors, as well as the factors that determine them. Despite growth in the economy, insufficient job creation in the formal sector has rendered the informal sector an inevitable source of employment for youths. We use the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to examine the disparity between formal and informal earnings, and Quantile Regression to investigate the factors that determine earning differentials across income groups. Among key findings are: first, there are major differences in average earnings between the formal and informal sectors, with the informal sector having lower average earnings; second, women's earnings are lower in both sectors and across other sectors; and lastly, the formal sector has a higher percentage of employees who work a second job than the informal sector. Employee characteristics, gender, taking on another work, relocating to a rural location, and transferring to private employment and the informal sector are the factors that contribute to earnings disparities. The following policy implications are drawn: investing in education is crucial for raising earnings; women's participation in higher paying activities is important for empowering them; and an overall improvement in employee earnings is important for reducing the need to get a second job to supplement their incomes.

Abstract:
Detrás de su aparente heterogeneidad, las distintas teorías sobre el sector y la empresa informal tienen en común importantes presupuestos epistemológicos y metodológicos. Esto se debe a que todos los teóricos de la informalidad han ido a llenar sus cántaros conceptuales a una misma y única fuente: la noción de informalidad propuesta originalmente por Keith Hart (1971) en los años setenta. Pero cuando hicieron suya la -noción de informalidad, los seguidores de Hart no pudieron despojarla nunca de las inconsistencias teóricas que le eran inherentes desde su origen, a pesar de haberla traducido y reformulado en el lenguaje propio de sus respectivas escuelas de pensamiento. Tal es la tesis que defiende el autor de este artículo.

Abstract:
Informality has been a widespread fact in most of developing countries. Especially after the implementation of liberalization policies in the 1980s, informal sector has expanded, and informal employment has been more attractive in the Turkish economy. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether there is wage gap between formal and informal employment in Turkey for the years 2007 and 2008. In order to test if the determinants of wages are different, selection corrected wage equations are estimated for manufacturing and service sectors for men and women separately by using the Household Labor Force Survey micro level data of TURKSTAT. We also estimated Multinomial Logit model in order to be able to take the sector selection process into account. According to our estimation results, there was a significant wage gap between formal and informal employment in Turkey for the years 2007 and 2008, even after controlling for a number of individual-specific characteristics. This indicates the existence of the segmented labor market in terms of wages in Turkey, as it is asserted by the number of researchers arguing against the neo-classical labor market theory.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the life-cycle profile of informal employment in Turkey. To achieve this goal cohort analysis technique and 2000-2007 Household Labor Force Survey micro level data of State Institute of Statistics is used. Informal sector is composed of people working without social security coverage due to their current jobs. Analyzes are conducted both for the total sample and six education groups separately. Besides informal employment, labor force participation and unemployment rates are also examined and using these variables net transitions between the sectors over the life-cycle are tired to be observed. According to the results
informal employment rate decreases at young ages, relatively stable at middle ages and then increases rapidly at older ages. Moreover, strong cohort effects are found in many variables and the cross section profiles differ from the true life-cycle profiles remarkably.

Abstract:
The concept of dualism was applied to the urban economies in the Third World in the mid-sixties. Two sectors were identified, the informal sector and the formal sector. The informal sector was recognised to be primarily the refuge of the poor, the unemployed, and surplus labour from rural areas. Consequently, theories were advanced to explain how the informal sector was created, and why it persisted in the Third World develoment process. In the last ten years, however, research findings have shown that the informal sector may not necessarily be the sector of the poor or be confined to the Third World. These studies indicate that the informal sector is sometimes quite thriving, and present in centrally planned socialist economies as well as Western capitalist nations. It is time therefore for a comparative analysis of the various types of informal activities in the different economies to ascertain how and why the phenomenon exists in the different contexts. This research examines the course of the debate on the informal sector from 1965-1985 and presents an alternative analysis on the informal sector. The alternative analysis redefines the 'informal sector' as the 'petty capitalist sector' and proposes that this sector is created in response to the market forces in the formal sector, irrespective of the type of economy. The 'petty capitalist sector' caters to the demands for goods and services that are unfulfilled by the formal sector, and these are not necessarily confined to cheap goods. The labour for petty capitalist sector is similarly not confined to the poor and the unemployed. There are a variety of demands from the petty capitalist sector and different sources of labour for it. It is the potential for different combinations of labour sources and types of demand that create the wide variety of petty capitalist activities in the different economies. This research also presents the potential contribution of the alternative analysis to Third World planning. Planning for the informal sector has been important in the Third World because it has been tied to poverty and unemployment. But, according to the alternative analysis, because the 'petty capitalist sector' includes a range of activities with different problems, it would be inaccurate to say that it can be planned for per se. At best, a nation can deal with some specific problems of the petty capitalist sector, and this would depend on the development priorities of each nation.

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the estimation procedures and policy implications of an underground economy. In completing this task, we reviewed the techniques developed by Gutmann, Ferge, Tanzi, and others. Further attention was also given to the estimation processes, such as the survey approaches, used by various governments.
In analyzing the policy implications of an underground economy, we examined the effects of fiscal and monetary policy, the aggregate statistics, the exchange rate, and other equally important indicators. We concluded that the consequences of a large and growing submerged sector can be devastating to the economic variables.
Finally, this paper attempts to examine the Canadian underground economy. However, since the studies performed on the Canadian underground economy are limited, the task of both reviewing the literature, and determining the Canadian policy implications was perplexing. We concluded that there is a definite need for further study of the Canadian hidden sector.

Abstract:
In spite of the fact that informal traders in the informal economy are viewed as having the greatest prospects for creating jobs and absorbing the unemployed in developing countries, informal traders in Limpopo Province in general, and the city of Polokwane in particular, face various constraints that negatively affect them on a daily basis. The aim of the study has been to explore the constraints and opportunities of informal traders, using the city of Polokwane as a case study. The study has attempted to identify and describe constraints that affect informal traders in the Polokwane city, as well as factors that can enhance their development and growth. The study is exploratory, descriptive and qualitative in nature. Semi-structured faceto-face interviews were conducted to gather data. Findings of the study suggest that the government should improve the effectiveness of its support mechanisms by initiating targeted support programmes specifically tailored for informal traders at the survivalist level.

Abstract:
Eu égard les ressources financières conséquentes qu’elle mobilise, la protection sociale exerce une influence sur l’économie et sur les hommes. Son efficacité suscite de multiples débats, alimentés par le ralentissement économique, opposant partisans d’un libéralisme accru et défenseurs de davantage de justice sociale. Pour les premiers, le coût des dépenses sociales et leurs effets d’aubaine constituent un frein pour l’économie alors les seconds assimilent son apport à un levier indispensable au développement du capital humain. Cette thèse cherche à démontrer que les performances économiques et politiques sociales peuvent et doivent poursuivre des objectifs communs afin que le développement économique se traduise par le développement humain. Elle s’organise en deux parties comportant chacune trois chapitres. Dans un premier temps, suite à une démonstration mettant en exergue la forte corrélation entre niveau de développement économique et qualité des ressources humaines,seront mis en évidence deux positionnements contradictoires à propos de l’apport de la protection sociale sur l’économie et sur les hommes. A l’instar des autres pays en développement, au Sénégal, le secteur informel, représentant le poumon de l’économie malgré une faible productivité, est dépourvu de toute forme de couverture sociale moderne. Aboutissant à la conclusion que certaines composantes de la protection sociale, telle que l’assurance maladie, peuvent améliorer l’efficacité du capital humain, nous esquissons un schéma de couverture médicale applicable au secteur informel au Sénégal dans le cadre d’une assurance maladie obligatoire
Considering the substantial financial resources that social protection mobilizes, it exerts influences on the economy and population. Many debates are raised about its effectiveness, and these debates are sustained by the economic slowdown, that opposes supporters of an increased liberalism and those who are for some more social justice. For the former, the social spending cost and stroke of luck act as a brake on the economy while the latter compare its contribution to an essential lever for the development of human capital. This thesis tries to demonstrate that economic performance and social policies can and should pursue common goals, so that economic development should result in human development. It is divided into two parts, with three chapters in each. Firstly, two conflicting positions about the contribution of social protection on the economy and population will be brought out following a demonstration which underlines the strong correlation between the level of economic development and quality of human resources. Like the other developing countries,in Senegal the informal sector, which represents the hub of the economy, despite its low productivity, has no form of modern social coverage. Coming to the conclusion that some components of social protection, such as health insurance, can improve the effectiveness of human capital, we outline a scheme of medical coverage which can be applied to the informal sector in Senegal through compulsory health insurance

Abstract:
New technologies have made it possible to eliminate geographical barriers, thereby changing the traditional learning model. ICTs support lifelong learning by providing tools that allow for the creation of virtual learning environments through online courses or more informal settings. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of information and communication technologies and the conditions for their use in education in the context of Industry 5.0. It is proved that the informatization of the educational sector meets the deep needs of the whole society for the effective use of educational resources. Information, communication and artificial intelligence enrich the digital transformation. Educators need to prepare students for life in the information and knowledge society by developing the skills that students need to make full use of ICTs. The introduction of new technologies into education has changed the levels and educational roles of all its agents (teachers and students), and the new educational content being created is becoming more interactive, engaging and varied. It is concluded that ICT and 5G technologies serve as a catalyst for the development of new technologies and open up new opportunities for business, science, education and other areas.

Abstract:
The informal economy plays an important, yet often overlooked, role in economies throughout the world. Informal activities can provide a much needed source of income for a great number of people. At the same time, informality motivated by regulatory distortions, tax evasion, or in the pursuit of illegal activities can be a development trap that deprives governments of needed funds and leaves participants without legal protection. This paper is one output of a broader effort aimed at better understanding the informal sector in Jamaica. Using various techniques, this paper first estimates the size of the informal sector in Jamaica, finding that the informal economy represented a large and growing share of the overall economy, measuring in the vicinity of 40 percent of total economic activity as currently measured. This growing sector represents a diverse group of enterprises and workers, ranging from local peddlers to sophisticated small entrepreneurs. The second component of the paper explores these and other characteristics of the informal sector which should be taken into account when prescribing new policies or programs.

Abstract:
Recent years have seen an increasing availability and usage of measurements of informal sectors as the basis of scholarship and policy advice on the causes and consequences of informality. This has created an impression of a consensus around a clearly conceptualised and operationalised object of study – that when we talk about the informal sector, we know what we are talking about. This paper argues that this impression is largely a mirage. It suggests that underneath increasingly accepted measurements, and actively masked by them, there remains a fundamental conceptual confusion and continuing diversity in understandings of what the informal sector is. What should be questions of definition have been moved ‘downstream’ into the specifications of statistical models and measurements, resulting in a lack of transparency and the emergence of feedback loops between common conceptions and methodological assumptions. This has led a large part of the current literature on informal sectors to generate potentially misleading insights into substantial development policy discussions around taxation, registration, and social protection. This paper reviews the causes and consequences of these issues and suggests both best practices and revised definitions in order to address them.

Abstract:
Despite the valuable presence of women in informal economies, there is still limited knowledge of the gender dynamics of the informal sector and its workers. Using a gender lens, this Policy Note investigates women informal workers’ experiences in Boracay’s tourism industry. It finds that competition with other industry players, seasonality of demand for tourism activities, limited tourist interactions due to designated locations by the government, and sexual harassment and prejudice often confront women’s economic operations in the island. To transition into the formal economy, the need to strengthen gendered data on informal tourism workers, develop training and capacity-building programs, and conduct gender sensitivity workshops for policymakers, policy implementers, and informal workers alike are emphasized.

Asmare, Fisha, Seid Yimam, and Etsehiwot Semreab. Presumptive Taxation and Equity: Evidence from the Ethiopian Informal Sector. Institute of Development Studies, November 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ictd.2023.056.

Full text
Abstract:
Presumptive tax has become a popular way of taxing businesses operating in the informal sector across middle- and low-income countries. However, evidence on the unintended effects of presumptive tax systems is scant and the effects themselves are not yet clearly known. Presumptive taxation in general has been much criticised, and public outcry and complaints have emerged due to its alleged unfairness and a lack of clarity in its implementation. The case of Ethiopia is no different. It is expected that a simple imposition of the presumptive tax system to tax the informal sector without considering stylised facts in the sector would have various negative consequences, especially in terms of the repercussions on equity. This study examines the issue empirically in the case of Ethiopia and is probably the first study of its kind in the country. We explore the equity implications of the presumptive tax system to tax the informal sector in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We also critically evaluate income distribution among informal sector operators considering various social stratifiers such as gender. The main dataset we use to address our research questions is the informal micro enterprise (IME) survey data collected by BAN-Development Research Centre for Excellence (BAN-DRCE) in collaboration with Stichting Nederlandse Vrijwilligers (SNV) Ethiopia from Addis Ababa in 2021. Employing descriptive analysis and a representative taxpayer approach, we find that informal sector taxation using the turnover-based presumptive tax system would be both horizontally and vertically inequitable. Our analysis shows that about 44 per cent of informal sector businesses which participated in the survey earn below the minimum formal sector business income tax threshold. Most of these 44 per cent of businesses are owned by women. The plausible reasons for the inequitable taxation of the informal sector are the complexity of how the presumptive tax burden is determined, and lack of clarity on this process. Therefore, the presumptive tax system in Ethiopia requires a serious discussion that extends up to revision.
