    Informal economy between the problem of definition and the difficulty of measurement
    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2024) Maatouk, Samia; Kadem, Dounia
    The research discusses the topic of the informal economy, the phenomenon of the modern era as a result of its deterioration, and as a result of its role and weight in the economies of countries. The concept of the informal economy has received great attention during recent decades, both at the theoretical level and at the practical level. Interest in this concept and in the way it is measured has increased in recent years, especially with the adoption of this concept by many governments and international institutions, and testing its relationship with some important economic and social development variables such as income, education, poverty and unemployment...Using the descriptive analytical approach, the multiplicity of methods used in measuring the informal economy in terms of the input used in the measurement has been reached, and therefore the estimates given to this economy differ, which makes it difficult to find a comprehensive indicator that includes all activities even in one economy.
