Measuring the informal economy in Latin America and the Caribbean

Vuletin, Guillermo

Measuring the informal economy in Latin America and the Caribbean - [Washington]US IMF 2008 - 29 p.

Finds that a stringent tax system and regulatory environment, higher inflation and dominance of the agricultural sector are key factors in determining the size of the informal economy. Notes that results confirm that a higher degree of informality reduces labour unionization, the number of contributors to social security schemes, and enrolment rates in education.
