Informal labor growth significantly outpaces formal employment, accelerating labor precariousness across the region. This trend severely restricts workers’ access to social security and pensions, particularly impacting vulnerable groups and specific sectors such as domestic service, agriculture, and construction. The economic contraction acts as a primary driver, forcing displaced formal workers into the informal sector due to a lack of viable alternatives. This shift correlates with rising unemployment and widespread poverty, reflecting a substantial decline in purchasing power and worsening living standards for a significant portion of the population. This data is vital for open data initiatives as it highlights the urgent need for transparent, accessible statistics to monitor economic health and labor rights. By making such indicators widely available, civil society and policymakers can better analyze systemic inequalities and advocate for structural reforms to address the root causes of informal employment and social exclusion.
