Informal Economy And Entrepreneurship

Authors : Boukhatem Mustapha .

Abstract

The informal economy contributes strongly to production, consumption, employment and income generated in developing countries. It is a means of livelihood for a majority of low income citizens, socially marginalized and is an important mean of survival for unskilled people in countries without good social safety nets and unemployment insurance. For this reason, emerges a new interest to define measure and study the informal economy to better understand its scope, its impact and its contributions to the economy and society. Furthermore the pooling of efforts to “formalize” the sector and introduce it to formal economy is to be taken.
