Informalities, margins and dimensions, by Hugo Ñopo

“When we say that informality in the country reaches 72% of workers, we are adding all those who do not contribute to health or pensions, putting very different realities in the same bag. One part of this informality is combated with inspection, another Some (in fact, the vast majority) do not. Making the distinctions is important for designing better policies.”

In his new article in Foco Economico, our Senior Researcher Hugo Ñopo addresses the importance of specifying the definition of informality to improve public discussion and the search for solutions.
