What does this trend suggest ? What institutional
changes have been undertaken to cope with the |
|
needs of the informal sector (fiscal policies,
credit to small and micro-enterprises, legislation's to |
|
|
protect the rights of employees, etc.) ? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The high percentage of informal sector employees
is due to the structural and |
|
cyclic unemployment. Inability to conduct
expansion fiscal policy i.e. - tax |
|
decrease as a result of the agreements with IMF.
The IMF policy, respectively |
|
the policy of the Government is conservative for
the time being. |
