The informal sector is a major source of income and employment in all developing countries and particularly so in Africa. In low-income economies in Africa, the informal sector typically accounts for about half of aggregate output and some 90 per cent of employment. Although the informal sector is rural and urban, this book focuses on the urban informal sector, which is growing particularly fast and accounts for a large share of total informal employment. While the informal sector is receiving increasing attention in academic and policy realms, there is still much that remains unknown. This book sheds light on some important and previously understudied aspects of the urban informal sector, using case studies and surveys based on original data as well as interviews. It focuses mostly on francophone Africa, with particular attention to Senegal, Benin and Burkina Faso in West Africa, and Cameroon and Gabon in Central Africa. However, the book also includes comparisons to informal sectors in other countries in Africa and other regions.

The multiple indicator-multiple cause (MIMIC) method is a well-established tool for measuring informal economic activity. However, it has been criticized because GDP is used both as a cause and indicator variable. To address this issue, this paper applies for the first time the light intensity approach (instead of GDP). It also uses the Predictive Mean Matching (PMM) method to estimate the size of the informal economy for Sub-Saharan African countries over 24 years. Results suggest that informal economy in Sub-Saharan Africa remains among the largest in the world, although this share has been very gradually declining. It also finds significant heterogeneity, with informality ranging from a low of 20 to 25 percent in Mauritius, South Africa and Namibia to a high of 50 to 65 percent in Benin, Tanzania and Nigeria.

The book examines diverse segments of the informal sector, putting into consideration their structure, dynamics, resilience and gender issues. Chapters are based on empirical research on women in the transport sector, vehicle maintenance artisanship, graduates in the informal sector, COVID 19, and the informal economy.

The informal sector is often associated with micro- and family-based firms. In West Africa, however, some informal firms are very large. Based on detailed surveys and interviews carried out in Benin, Burkina Faso and Senegal, we compare the characteristics of formal, large informal and small informal firms. This paper discusses the survey methodology, the main industries in which large informal firms operate, and the characteristics and functioning of firms.
