explain the factors that have resulted in the growth of informal services in Pakistan?
Answers
Explanation:
The informal economy in Pakistan is large where workers have limited access to labour welfare services. The Labour Force Survey 2017-18 states that the informal sector accounts for 71.7 per cent of the employment in main jobs outside agriculture, more in rural areas (75.6 per cent) than in urban areas (68.1 per cent). Overall, there has been a slight decrease in the informal sector if we compared to the Labour Force Survey 2008-09 data on informal sector which shows the informal sector accounts for more than 73.3 per cent of the employment in main jobs outside agriculture. The key sector of employment in the informal economy are wholesale and retail trade manufacturing, community/social and personal services, construction and transport.
