- W69664674 abstract "Introduction Informal employment is back on the policy agenda. (1) It represents a major share of the workforce in most developing countries and is on the rise in developed countries. Across the developing world, the majority of workers are poor; and the majority of working poor are informally employed. Adding to these policy concerns are the lingering impacts of the Great Recession on employment and the global crisis of youth unemployment. This paper seeks to provide a summary overview of recent rethinking and recent data on employment, particularly in developing countries. Section I details two international statistical definitions--of informal sector and informal employment--and presents recent data on non-agricultural Section II discusses to formalize the economy debate and presents a comprehensive framework for responding to enterprises and Section III analyzes why existing labor market models and regulations need to be re-examined in light of the reality and complexity of employment today. The paper concludes that employment should be the cornerstone of the development agenda and that economic diversity should be the cornerstone of the future economy. I. Statistical Definitions & Data International Statistical Definitions: In 1993, the International Conference of Labour Statisticians adopted an international statistical definition of the informal sector to refer to employment and production that takes place in unincorporated small and/or unregistered enterprises. But soon thereafter, beginning in 1997, the International Labor Office (ILO), the international Expert Group on Informal Sector Statistics (called the Delhi Group), and the global network Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) began working together to broaden the concept and definition to incorporate certain types of employment that had not been included in the enterprise-based concept and definition of the sector. They sought to include the whole of work-related informality, as it is manifested in industrialized, transition and developing economies and the real world dynamics in labor markets today, particularly the employment arrangements of the working poor. The expanded definition focuses on the nature of employment in addition to the characteristics of enterprises and includes all types of employment both inside and outside enterprises. This expanded definition was endorsed by the International Labor Conference (ILC) in 2002 and the International Conference of Labor Statisticians (ICLS) in 2003: statisticians refer to this expanded notion as informal employment. Informal employment is, by design, a large and heterogeneous category. For purposes of analysis and policymaking it is useful to, first, sub-divide employment into self-employment and wage employment, and then within these broad categories, into more homogeneous sub-categories according to status in employment, as follows: (2) Informal self-employment including: * employers in enterprises * own account workers in enterprises * contributing family workers (in and formal enterprises) * members of producers' cooperatives (where these exist) Informal wage employment: employees hired without social protection contributions by formal or enterprises or as paid domestic workers by households. Certain types of wage work are more likely than others to be informal. These include: * employees of enterprises * casual or day labourers * temporary or part-time workers * paid domestic workers * contract workers * unregistered or undeclared workers * industrial outworkers (also called home workers) This expanded definition extends the focus from enterprises that are not legally regulated to include employment relationships that are not legally regulated or socially protected. …" @default.
