Women and men in the informal economy: A statistical picture
Abstract
This report forms part of the ILO follow-up plan of action to support the implementation of Recommendation
No. 204. It is all the more timely given that the United Nations General Assembly has
recently approved the Global Indicator Framework to monitor the Sustainable Development Goals,
including a specific global statistical indicator on informal employment (8.3.1). The report provides
for the first time a statistical profile of the informal economy at the global level using a common
set of operational criteria to measure informal employment and employment in the informal sector
for more than 100 countries, including both developed and developing countries. Statistics on
informal employment are disaggregated by sex, age, level of education, status in employment and
other socio-economic characteristics.
