From this blog post by Ravi Kanbur: "In recent years, there has been a strong interest in the informal economy, which is estimated to comprise 50-75 percent of the non-agricultural labor force in developing countries. It is seen as problematic by many observers, not least because of its association with poverty and low productivity. But little consensus exists on the diagnosis of the problem, let alone on policies to address it."
