Informal-formal sector interrelationships

The essential object of this article is to put some order into the discussion of the informal sector. Since the ILO adopted the new term, there has been a spate of somewhat entangled discussion which has at least served to reanimate the debate on underdevelopment and give a better grasp of the relevant problems and solutions. The aim here is to study the limited but crucial question of the relations maintained by the informal sector with the rest of the economy.
