Informal employment, whether the result of tax evasion or working
whilst claiming benefit, is an issue rapidly rising to the top of
government policy agendas. This book challenges many of the popular
myths surrounding informal economic activities, offering a radical
reconceptualization of their extent, growth, location and nature as
well as evaluating the contrasting policy options open to
governments. First, it tackles the popular belief that informal
employment is growing throughout the advanced economies. Second it
challenges the myth that this work is undertaken mostly by
marginalized groups such as the unemployed, poor, ethnic minorities
and immigrants and in deprived neighbourhoods. Third, it evaluates
the dominant view that we should replace informal with formal
employment through enforcement of stringent laws and regulations
concerning tax evasion, benefit fraud and the contravention of
labour laws.
