_Notes:_ Informal self-employment includes: (i) All non-professional self-employed operating solely; (ii) Employers with 5 or fewer workers. Persons working without a contract for own family‘s business (family workers) are considered separately and not accounted for in the models presented in Tables 3-7. Informal dependent employment includes employees (persons in a dependent employment relationship) without a contract or who is uncertain of their contract. Labor force is extended to include all non-employed persons willing to work. Data collection period is 5% trimmed. _Source:_ Calculation with ESS data.
