Abstract

The chapter looks into the different kinds of definitions of informal which have been adopted in labour economics. Guided by International Labour Organization the definition has changed, adopting to changes in socioeconomic dynamics. Heterogeneity of the sector proved incapability of a simple definition to capture the sector itself. Initiating with a legalistic definition, the sector is now defined by moving on to the concepts of informality and informal employment. The dilemma which we learn from this historical journey is discussed in this chapter.
