| 520 | |a This paper estimates the size of the informal economy for 32 mainly Latin American and Caribbean countries in the early 2000s.

The results also confirm that a higher degree of informality reduces labor unionization, the number of contributors to social security schemes, and enrollment rates in education. | ||
