Abstract

The informality phenomenon is widespread in both rural and urban areas of transitional economies, but most of the current empirical research on informality targets the urban context. The pulse of the rural economy is known to be a slower one. Remoteness, dependency on agriculture, high unemployment, lower purchasing power, deteriorating infrastructure and depopulation pose great challenges for rural development. Post-socialist rural places desperately need jobs. Job creation was left to private initiative and became closely linked to the wider practice of informality. This contribution seeks to better understand the rural manifestations of informal business activities and provide guidance for future scholars of rural informal economic activities in the post-socialist context.
