Global and regional estimation of informal sector employment: A methodology
Background document for the WIEGO Statistics Planning Meeting, June 2002. The purpose of this note is to describe a methodology for estimating the global number of workers in the informal sector and its breakdown by major regions of the world, based on a limited sample of national data. The description is organized around the four basic steps of the proposed methodology: (1) choice of sample countries; (2) harmonization of data; (3) global estimation; and (4) regional breakdown. In the final section (5) the advantages and drawbacks of the method are evaluated against another methodology based on imputation for missing countries.
